Raccoon hitches a ride on the world’s most dangerous taxi

Cape Town - Richard Jones, a resident in Florida in the US was on a family walk in Oscala National Forest on Sunday, 14 June, when he spotted what must have been the world's most daring hitch-hiker - a raccoon non-chalantly drifting away on the back of a lethal alligator!  

Jones told Daily Mail his son must have startled the raccoon, which jumped on the back of the floating alligator in an attempt to get away from the human activity.

Looking at the astonishing photo, however, the raccoon seems super chilled about the whole thing. He's just over there, like, YOLO...

Jones confirmed to ABC News that the bad-ass raccoon managed to make an easy escape from the jaws of the 'gator once it reached a quieter river bank.
