Animal Tales!

A photographer in Australia has captured the remarkable moment a seal hitched a ride on the back of a humpback whale.
Robyn Malcolm spotted the surfing seal on a whale-watching trip near Eden, New South Wales.

"We'd seen some amazing whales coming out of the water, everything was happening so quickly,” Mr Malcolm told the Sydney Morning Herald. “It was when I went back through the photos that I realised I had actually captured the seal on top of the whale."
He dismissed suggestions that the image was fake, claiming that he doesn’t know how to use Photoshop. “And I still have it on the camera to prove it," he added.

It's not the first time an animal has been spotted riding on the back of another species. In March Martin Le-May took this astonishing photograph of a weasel clinging to the back of a woodpecker.

A red-winged blackbird appeares to have hitched a ride on the back of a red-tailed hawk. The photo was captured in the DeSoto and Boyer Chute national wildlife refuge, which spans across Nebraska and Iowa, by Mike White. 'We see territorial blackbirds (among others) dive-bombing raptors,' the department explained. 'But this is definitely something you don't see every day.'

I don't bee-lieve it! A brave bee risks getting eaten by a lizard after landing on its head. The female dragon forest lizard got a surprise when the bee flew down to rest on its head as it crawled along a branch.

A lazy monkey hitches a ride to the top of a tree - sitting on the back of a parrot. The squirrel monkey hopped onto the bird and wrapped his arms around its neck to avoid the 26ft climb. He lives with a male and female blue and gold macaw at a countryside hotel, where they always eat and play together. Photographer Alejandro Jaramillo was in San Agustin, Colombia, when he noticed the unusual friendship

 AND FINALLY!
Border collie Hekan proves he's no one-trick-pooch by helping his owner to train horses. The talented one-year-old's name is a shortened form of 'he can do anything' and he lives up to this every day as he lends owner Steve Jefferys a helping paw at Equestrian Excellence in Melbourne. His duties include holding the horses as they're saddled, taking them for walks on a lead and fetching items. But it doesn't stop there; the wonder dog can also ride horses. Steve comments: "He's an incredibly talented dog. He's basically my secretary." Steve and Hekan train stunt horses for stage and film.
