Turtle rides on the back of alligator at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden, America - 20 May 2011
I'm in a rush so make it snappy! This turtle shows no fear as it hitches a ride on the back of a 5ft alligator. The red-eared slider turtle shares a zoo exhibit with the Chinese alligator at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden in America. And despite the fearsome reputation of alligators the two reptiles have become firm friends.The alligator and its hitchhiking friend were snapped by photographer Connie Lemperle. According to staff who look after the animals it's quite normal to see the lazy turtle riding on his pal's back.

It is not often you see cats and dogs in such close harmony, but Nia the cheetah and Cali the puppy are the best of friends.
The two youngsters were bought together in September by Cincinnati Zoo's Cat Ambassador Program.
The program, which educates people about wild animals and conservation, pairs a cheetah cub with a canine puppy for the cheetah's first year.
Nias two siblings did not survive so, as cheetahs usually have three to five cubs, it was decided to help socialise the lone cat by pairing her with Cali.
"We would love to raise baby cheetah's together, that is the best case scenario," explains Kathy Watkins, cat ambassador trainer with the Cincinnati Zoo. "Unfortunately Nia's other two siblings did not survive and that is the reason she is being hand raised. The reason we adopted a puppy was to help raise and socialise our new cheetah cub."
