UNUSUAL FRIENDSHIP

MAKING himself at home, this little snail perches happily on top of this frog's head. As the frog appears to bow down to give him a helpful step up, the snail crawls over him until sitting content on top. These funny photographs were captured by Indonesian photographer Lessy Sebastian, 50, after he spotted the unusual friendship by his garden pond in his home in Jakarta, Indonesia. 'This green tree frog is my own frog and on this occasion I went outside to try and snap some nice photographs of him enjoying the sun,' says Lessy.
