The picture of a weasel riding on a woodpecker's back has gone viral. And a lot of people are asking, is it real or is it a hoax? Well, the man who says he took the photo did an interview with the BBC and explained how he caught the unique photograph.

Amateur photographer Martin LeMay was out walking with his wife, when they saw the woodpecker. He says they watched it with binoculars until he realized there appeared to be an animal on its back. That's when he switched to the camera.

The picture he captured has gone viral after it was shared on the BBC. And it's a cool image! Can you imagine what was going through the woodpecker's mind? (Get OFF me!) Or through the weasel's mind? Would it be 'COOL!' or 'HELLLLLLP!!'
