“Pardon me, sir. May I please get a ride?” Photographer Dirk-Jan Steehouwer appropriately named his image “Monkey Riding a Giraffe,” as he saw a monkey climbing atop a giraffe. It appears that this monkey was playing with other monkeys in a group in the barren trees.

The monkey spotted an opening to grab a ride and jumped onto the friendly giraffe’s back as it passed through. Well, it’s quite an easy way to avoid the scorching Saharan grasses.
