Animals have been riding one another since the dawn of time. These photos showcase this most ancient mode of transportation in inter-species riding.

Woodpecker-riding weasel: Well, here’s one for the books: a weasel riding a woodpecker. Amateur photographer Martin Le-May was walking through an East London park with his wife, hoping to show his wife a green woodpecker for the first time, when he snapped this rare photo.

As much as we’d love to say this weasel is embarking on an epic journey atop his very own luck dragon, what Le-May actually witnessed was a failed attempt at lunch. Small and adorable as they may be, weasels are voracious hunters and have been known to chomp down on a wide variety of prey items including moles, squirrels, hares, snakes and birds.
