Hitchhiking in the animal world. Unique footage!

Camera traps set up in the wild allow scientists to conduct research and observations without harming animals. And they allow them (and us, respectively) to see the rather strange behavior of wild animals. For example, the interaction of animals that usually bypass each other or do not notice each other at all. This is just such a case. So, what exactly is the point...

1. In front of you is a buffalo and an ordinary genet - two types of animals that usually do not interact. But as you can see, here they are together.

2. True, the buffalo apparently did not like this “interaction”, and he “shaken off” the genet from himself.

3. However, such a situation did not suit Genet either - apparently, she had a definite goal for this evening ...

4. ... ride a buffalo!

5. Finding a "transport" more accommodating, the geneta settled on another buffalo, which rolled her all evening.

6. However, a few days later, the same geneta was seen in the company of a "taxi" of a different kind.

7. Scientists note that this is a rather unusual behavior for these animals.

8. But it cannot be denied that this geneta is quite shrewd and cunning.

9. After all, it's a great way to get around!

10. It doesn’t take much strength, you can overcome a considerable distance ...

11. ... and if there is food nearby, you can always "get off" the transport.

12. For several days, this geneta rode many buffaloes and rhinos. Here is such a hitchhiker!
