The animal
kingdom never fails to surprise and these photographs are no exception. Martin
Le-May, a casual photographer from East London, snapped a baby weasel enjoying
what looks like quite an enjoyable ride on a woodpecker’s back. While it may
seem cute and sweet, the truth behind the images is actually a lot more
disconcerting.
The Sinister
Truth
Although it
looks like a moment from a Disney film, the baby weasel and woodpecker are
actually in a fight for their lives. The little weasel is hungry and wants to
make a meal out of the woodpecker. Meanwhile, the woodpecker simply wants to
live to see another day and so they are locked in a battle to the death.
Perfect
Moment
The
miraculous moment was caught on camera just by chance. While Le-May was
enjoying a peaceful story with his wife around the park, he heard an animal in
distress, which is when he stumbled upon the scene at Hornchurch Country Park.
After taking a look around, they spotted the scramble between the two creatures
taking place.
