(PICTURED: A bale of turtles hitch a ride on the back of a seemingly oblivious hippopotamus.) - Now thats what you call a water taxi! This is the endearing moment a group of baby turtles hitched a lift on the back of a hippo. The fully grown hippo was spotted ferrying the cute creatures across a watering hole in Kruger National Park, South Africa. British photographer Tony Cunningham spotted the hippo and its terrapin hitchhikers while on a day trip at the park with his wife Jennifer.
