A video has emerged from Kruger National Park, South Africa of turtles sunbathing on the back of a hippo.

In the clip, which was filmed on May 3, a group of about twenty of the reptiles crowd the back of the hippo to bask in the afternoon sun.

The hippo doesn't appear to mind the stowaways as it bathes quietly in the river.

These Turtles(Terrapins) were enoying a sunbath on a rock when the "rock" suddenly moved - Kruger National Park
"This video was taken in the afternoon. We came from Skukuza taking the H1-1 to Pretoriuskop and it was close to the "Transport" dam. At first we saw a bunch of turtles wich were quite funny, basking in the sun and swimming to what we thought was a rock. Then a hippo took out its head from the water and made us laugh because neither me nor my husband expected to see a hippo with 20 turtles on his back." - Mademoisell Nell

This is just a short video to show how an Turtles(Terrapin) decided to have a joyride on a Hippo's back.
