At first glance this looks like a weasel catching a ride on the back of a woodpecker, and it's taking the internet by storm.

Turns out, the weasel was trying to kill the woodpecker for a meal. Photographer Martin Le-May saw the whole attack unfold and snapped this pic as the woodpecker escaped. Not long after this pic was taken, the weasel fell off the bird and disappeared into the tall grass, still hungry.
