Bird perches on a capybara using it as a launchpad to catch insects, Pantanal, Pocone, Brazil - April 2014
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Paul Williams/REX (3850673w)
Brazilian Bother: Yellow Bird Bothers Capybara
This hapless capybara seems to be having just as much bother as certain football teams in Brazil.
A cheeky bird hitching a ride and free meal on the back of a giant rodent has been captured by a British wildlife photographer.
Paul Williams, 34, observed the cattle tyrant in Brazil's Pantanal region on the back of a pig-sized capybara, the largest rodent in the world.
The bird was spotted doing acrobatic somersaults as it used the animal's back as a launch platform for catching insects - and the capybara didn't look impressed.
As the name suggests, the cattle tyrants sometimes perch on the backs of cattle and horses to catch insects flushed by the livestock. But this cheeky bird was also feasting on the semi aquatic mammal's fur - possibly for ticks.
The giant rodent disturbed insects as it grazed on grass, which were then quickly snapped up by the somersaulting bird.
Paul, who works for the BBC Natural History Unit, said: "It was quite funny to see this little bird riding on top of this massive rodent. It was as if the bird was commanding it to march on, and whispering directions in it's ear"
"He looked quite happy hitching a free ride and getting a meal. He ate from the capybara's fur then snapped up any insects the rodent disturbed while eating amongst the grass and water hyacinth.
"You could see the bird jumping up in the air and doing somersaults to catch the insects. I thought that it was quite a sight, but judging by the capybara's expression he didn't agree.
"This sort of relationship is quite a common occurrence and several species of birds increase their feeding rate by associating with capybara or other large mammals."
Capybaras are closely related to guinea pigs but weigh in at around 55 kg and grow up to a metre long. They live in grassy wetla...

Artist Sue Austin has created an underwater wheelchair which she will use in a choreographed series of acrobatic underwater performances as part of the Cultural Olympiad., FULL COPY
Underwater Wheelchair Display For Cultural Olympiad
An artist will perform swimming pool acrobatics in an underwater wheelchair this week as part of the Cultural Olympiad celebrations.
Sue Austin, from Devon, has been wheelchair-bound since 1996 and has invented and helped create the world's first self-propelled underwater wheelchair with a team of diving experts.
In the lead up to the Paralympic Games Ms Austin has staged a series of stunning underwater scuba performances called 'Creating the Spectacle!' to show off her underwater art.
'Creating the Spectacle!' is part of the Cultural Olympiad celebrations and will demonstrate the incredible capabilities of the modified NHS wheelchair by weaving shapes deep in the ocean.
The chair is equipped with swimming floats, fins and two foot-controlled drive propulsion vehicles.
It will swim along mid-water in Sue's live art events at Osprey Leisure Centre in Weymouth on 29 August to 1 September, the start of the London 2012 Paralympic Sailing events.
