We've seen it all before. Baby monkeys riding on pigs, a weasel on a woodpecker, dogs on surfboards - but this is different! 

This is an octopus on a dolphin!

I don't think the octopus stuck out a tentacle and literally asked for a lift - it was more likely clinging on so it didn’t get eaten!

Knowing it is not fast enough to out-swim the dolphin, the crafty octopus' remaining survival tactic was to cling to the predator’s back.
