Apologies if you've already seen a raccoon riding an alligator today.

Man snaps picture of raccoon on top of gator in Ocala National Forest
11:54 a.m. EDT, Sun June 14, 2015



Richard Jones said he and his family were walking along the Oaklawaha River watching alligators when his son walked through some palm fronds to get a good picture.

Jones said his son must have startled the raccoon, which stumbled toward the water and hopped on top of the gator that was nearby.

Jones was able to quickly take the unique photo before the raccoon scurried back on land.

"I snapped a lucky picture right when the gator slipped into the water and before the raccoon jumped off and scurried away. Without the context you'd think the raccoon was hitching a ride across the river. Pretty amazing," Jones said in an email. "Definitely the photo of a lifetime."

5. my dad and his buddy were fishing in the middle of a great big lake…..

out of nowhere a squirrel comes swimming up to their boat and climbs onto it and rides on the prow right up until they went back to shore. They snapped a photo so the story is true. how that squirrel ended up in the middle of a lake is anyone's guess.

7. Dropped by a hawk or something I would guess

It happens sometimes if the raptor doesn't get a good grip on the body, maybe catches the tail.
