Just for the halibut: a frog rides a fish (Picture: BNPS)

We’ve all had moments where we’ve hailed a cab because we’re feeling lazy – and it seems amphibians are no different.

This idle frog was snapped riding a goldfish from one side of a pond to the other, clinging on tightly with his legs during the brief journey.

Despite the best efforts of the goldfish, the frog managed to hold on until it had completed its journey across the water, at which point it presumably thanked its reluctant taxi, disembarked, and continued with its day.

The incident was spotted by Andree Siwadi, 70, who was putting food into her garden pond in Winton in Bournemouth, Dorset.
