In the animal kingdom it can be hard to catch a ride, that’s just a fact of life. There are very few cabs for sheep or frogs, and the closest thing to a bus for a monkey is a human car filled with bananas they want. It’s a tough life, so when another animal comes along why not jump on their back and hitch a ride? Maybe we could all learn something from these cheeky hitchhiking animals!

German chicken Elfriede had decided she’d had enough that day, good thing her ride wasn’t sheepish.

This a pretty brave Indonesian frog, he must have found this ride particularly ribbeting.

Jake the German Shepherd must have felt a little sorry for Odo, so he’s giving him a ride.

You have goat to be kidding me, this guy’s just holding his horses not hitchhiking?

I wonder if this starling knew he was hitching a ride on Vlad the impala?

You probably think this little guy was too young to drive but really his car had been toad.

This baboon is giving a his little goat buddy a lift, it doesn’t look too comfortable but hey: whatever floats your goat.

This crow may be a little cheeky but it’s not ill-eagle.

Champ the horse and Morris the cat are best friends? You gotta be kitten me!

This terrapin doesn’t look impressed by his rides joke: what do you call an alligator in a vest? An investigator.

Not only can Hekan the border-collie ride a horse, he also make the best woofles in Australia.

You can really tell that this monkey’s ride is deer to him.

Talk about moving at a snail’s pace.

Judging by the second picture, this seagull found his ride a bit hawkward.

I bet you’re wondering where this beautiful little frog is from with all those wonderful colours? Well he’s mostly Spanish but he’s also a tad-polish.

This macaw looks a little annoyed by his hitchhiker’s monkey business.

If this brown noddy keeps catching rides on pelicans his bill will be enormous.

This Indonesian bullfrog is turtley cool.

This flying frog is always getting joyrides from woodboring beetle, at least that’s what I’ve been toad.

You wouldn’t bee-lieve it but this bee really is catching a ride on his predator the dragon forest lizard!
