I always love pictures/vids of unlikely animal friendships.. I wonder what they all have in common. Many of these animals seem to be domesticated. Such as the hyena that grows up on a lion sanctuary and is used to being cuddled by her owner. The hyena becomes inseparable with two of the lions. I wonder what identity these animals have. In the case of the hyena, he clearly thought he was a lion : ] Some of these friendships seem to evolve due to a dramatic incident, such as an accident which brings together two species that help each other.. like the tsunami which washed the baby hippo to shore, where it was raised by the turtle.
I think i saw a youtube video once about koko the gorilla and her pet cat. Koko signed to her caretakers that she wanted a cat and she was allowed to chose one on her birthday. She cared for the cat as if it was her own baby.
