    What is it with animals catching rides on other animals these days? We’ve seen weasel on woodpecker, we’ve seen raccoon on alligator, now feast your eyes on this rather unusual pairing.

    This photo was captured off the New South Wales coast about 500km south of Sydney, a fur seal basically surfing on the back of a humpback whale. The BBC reports:

    New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife whale expert Geoff Ross told the paper the coupling was very rare but he had heard of it happening once before.

    “The only other time was a seal trying to get away from a killer whale. The seal hopped on the back of the pectoral fins of a humpback whale,” he said.
    Ms [Robyn] Malcolm insisted that the photo was not doctored.

    “I’m positive, because I don’t know how to use Photoshop. And I do still have it on the camera so I can prove it,” she told the newspaper.

    What next, genets riding on the back of rhinos? Oh, wait…
