Is This the Real-Life Timon & Pumbaa? South Texas Thinks So

Only in South Texas can you watch a raccoon ride on the back of a javelina. A game camera caught the most hilarious moment that looks like a real-life Disney movie.

A game camera used to discreetly record animals outdoors caught a hilarious, almost unbelievable, scene. A photo posted on Facebook shows a black and white image of a raccoon comfortably sitting on top of a wandering javelina, almost like it hopped on for a joyride.

The hilarious part is that the hog looks so unbothered. In fact, they both look so comfortable with the situation, like it wasn’t their first rodeo.

 For those who don’t know, javelinas, sometimes called “collared peccaries,” are common across South Texas. They travel in groups, love to dig through brush, and can be feisty when approached.

Raccoons, on the other hand, are professional opportunists, famous for raiding garbage cans and stealing pet food. Seeing these two animals team up? That’s the definition of “only in Texas.”

Once the photo hit the internet, the jokes poured in. One commenter called it “Timon and Pumbaa, South Texas edition.” Another said it was “Uber gone wild.” Someone else added, “He’s just hitching a ride to the trash cans.”

Time to charge the game camera and keep it rollin since you never know what moment you’ll capture in South Texas.
