Another Symbiotic Couple

Animals have a way of forming fascinating partnerships, as seen in this unusual pairing of a raccoon riding on a hog. These interactions might be symbiotic or, in some cases, slightly parasitic. The balance of such relationships in the wild often teeters between cooperation and exploitation.

In this instance, the raccoon seems to be using the hog to reach something it otherwise couldn't. Such scenes depict the inventive ways smaller animals like raccoons adapt to their environment, using whatever means necessary to access food and resources, highlighting the resourcefulness of wildlife.
