Woodpecker Takes Weasel On the Ride of Its Life.

A photograph of a weasel riding on the back of a woodpecker that seems almost too incredible to be true, is not photoshopped, according to the British man who snapped the now-viral photo.
Martin Le-May says he was out for a walk on Monday with his wife, Ann, in a London park when they heard a "distressed squawking."
The couple trained their binoculars on the bird in distress and saw it was "unnaturally hopping" and flapping its wings.
"Just after I switched from my binoculars to my camera the bird flew across us and slightly in our direction," Le-May told ABC News by email. "It was obvious it had a small mammal on its back and this was a struggle for life."
The mammal on the back of the woodpecker was a weasel. The Le-Mays watched as the woodpecker landed right in front of them and fought for its life.
I feared the worst," Le-May wrote. "I guess though our presence, maybe 25 meters away, momentarily distracted the weasel."
"The woodpecker seized the opportunity and flew up and away into some bushes away to our left," he wrote. "Quickly the bird gathered its self-respect and flew up into the trees and away from our sight."
As for the weasel that caused all the drama, Le-May says it disappeared into the long grass of the park, "hungry."

Good Stuff, as usual.
Thank you for all you do. ;)
Saw this one early LOL
My Ferret jumped on the back of our Corgi and dug in claws Rode that puppy for five minutes like a bronco . He was having a blast... puppy was NOT amused. But it wasn't an attack just playing Him and the cat chase each other a lot too. No camera handy though. Looks like this weasel just wanted a ride :P

Some of Natures animal kingdoms actions can give us some unforgettable experiences that bring a touch of awe to us that is valued by us in so many ways...
Its some times since I had any pets as such, but the last ones with funny experiences that I recall was having a Rabbit who used to thump the cat with its legs if it got too close for its comfort. We called it Thumper ! :P
