Unusual animal alliance photographed in a pond in Lucknow, India

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Odd couple: A rat was pictured in India hitching a lift across a pond on the back of a frog

These extraordinary pictures show an unusual animal alliance as a frog carries a rat across a pond, saving the rodent from a watery grave.
The rat had been clinging to debris as it struggled to stay afloat in the pond in Lucknow, in northern India, and welcomed the assistance of a more aquatic creature.
The friendship is reminiscent of The Wind in the Willows, the beloved children's book in which Ratty helps Mr Toad reclaim his ancestral home.

By LIZZIE EDMONDS

New family: Kids Harry, Ron, Neville and Hermione, pictured with mother Jemima, were born on Sunday

Jemima the goat has given birth to four tiny kids - much to the surprise of staff who delivered them.
Even though goats usually give birth to twins, the new mother delivered double the trouble at the White Post Farm in Farnsfield, Nottinghamshire.
Staff at the farm say the foursome - named Harry, Ron, Neville and Hermione after the main characters of Harry Potter - are very mischievous, but are attracting scores of visitors.

Up to no good: The quads were named after the Harry Potter characters as they are very mischievous

Five-year-old Jemima began giving birth just before 11am on Sunday.
And when her third kid was born, farm manager Anthony Moore, 32, was surprised.
Mr Moore said: 'I couldn't believe it.
'We've sometimes had triplets and that excites us but Jemima still looked big after the three and it was clear she was still in labour.

Working their charm: Staff at White Post Farm in Nottinghamshire, say the foursome are a star attraction

Staying put: The family, pictured with staff member Sarah Hebb, will be kept at the farm with their mother and father, Dave, for the foreseeable future
