A video has emerged from Kruger National Park, South Africa of turtles sunbathing on the back of a hippo.

In the clip, which was filmed on May 3, a group of about twenty of the reptiles crowd the back of the hippo to bask in the afternoon sun.

The hippo doesn't appear to mind the stowaways as it bathes quietly in the river.
