A playful pet bushbaby clung onto a car steering wheel as its owner drove home.

Footage shows the one-year-old galago named Teddy scampering back and forth as the wheel spun, his tiny limbs gripping the rim with ease in Bangkok, Thailand.

Teddy wore a small leash around his body, carefully held by his owner to keep him safe during the ride.

The energetic primate turned the steering wheel into a playground, darting along it before leaping onto the dashboard to explore.

Pet owner Otto Oran said: 'Teddy loves to join me driving around the streets.'
