Tree frog and its unlikely friend-a large python- before their animal instincts kick in

Clinging on with sticky toes, a green tree frog sits bravely on its unlikely friend – a large tree python in a zoo in Jakarta, Indonesia..Curled around the branches of a small coconut tree, the snake appears relatively undisturbed by the bold passenger that has clambered onto its skin. Grown in captivity together, the pair display no signs of aggression or fear, comfortable with their encounters high up in the leafy branches. The frog’s behaviour was all the more remarkable as rodents, reptiles and other small living things tend to make up the diet of the python.
