Oxpeckers are known for cruising around on the backs of buffalo, but it’s not every day that you see a heron hitching a ride on a hippo.

I would guess that it’s a Black-headed Heron, but my eyesight isn’t quite what it used to be.

There’s not much background information to the video shared on Good Things Guy, other than the video’s caption that reads “Kruger Park Uber was fully operational this morning”:

The bird looks like it is magically floating on the water while moving downstream but luckily the hippo pops its head up to shatter the illusion…

Alan Plant posted the video on the 31 July 2018.

At the time of writing, that video has been viewed close to 800 000 times. Go on then, chuck your name into the hat.

Stylin’. Definitely an UberXL.

Wonder what the heron and the hippo think of the new Uber prices?
