You can't get more July 4th than this... The image, which was caught by amatuer photographer Phoo-Chan, has been setting twitter alight this Independence Day weekend. It beats the hell out of the racoon not realising he was standing on a croc.

Of his sequence of shots, Chan wrote: "Crows are known for aggressively harassing other raptors that are much bigger in size when spotted in their territories and usually these 'intruders' simply retreat without much fuss. However, in this frame the crow did not seem to harass the bald eagle at such close proximity and neither did the bald eagle seem to mind the crow’s presence invading its personal space. What made it even more bizarre was that the crow even made a brief stop on the back of the eagle as if it was taking a free scenic ride and the eagle simply obliged."
