Hey, get off my Back: No, this isn t one of the newest circus animal acts caught at rehearsals. Its a 401b. Malayan Spiny Hill terrapin trying to dislodge a couple of hitch-hikers at Calerpark Zoo, Scotland. The big fellow seems to be enjoying himself but his passengers look a shade apprehensive. No wonder, some of these terrapins can speed along at six yards an hour: Now they know how a racing driver feels as he speeds along. One thing is certain, the tortoise and the tiny terrapin will be glad when its all over. January 1970 P000721

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Hey, get off my Back: No, this isn't one of the newest circus animal acts caught at rehearsals" we are transported back to January 1970 at Calerpark Zoo in Scotland. The focal point of the image is a magnificent Malayan Spiny Hill terrapin attempting to dislodge a couple of unexpected hitch-hikers from its sturdy shell. While the terrapin seems to be relishing in this peculiar situation, his passengers appear slightly apprehensive, and who can blame them? These tiny hitchhikers find themselves on an unexpected adventure as they cling onto their unusual mode of transportation. It's hard not to feel a sense of humor and admiration for these creatures as they navigate through life together - one large and seemingly invincible, while the other small and vulnerable. The contrast in size between the tortoise-like terrapin and its hesitant companions adds an element of cuteness and balance to this remarkable scene. As we learn that some terrapins can speed along at six yards per hour, it becomes evident that these unlikely travel buddies are experiencing something akin to a thrilling race. While it may seem like an amusing spectacle captured by Mirrorpix during the 1970s era, both the tortoise and tiny terrapin will surely breathe sighs of relief once their journey comes to an end. This heartwarming photograph reminds us that friendships come in all shapes and sizes – even when found atop a turtle's back!
