We've seen a lot of unusal interspecies friendship but can't recall ever seeing this particular bond...
A cat and a snake... friends? Weird, right? Weird but strangely really neat. That's what Twitter user and cat owner @molly7anne thought, too. After sharing a few images of her cat just basking in the sun with a snake, the tweet soon went viral and was flooded with comments and criticism (as always).
Here are a few of the most popular comments:
Friendships have no boundaries, not even among different species.
An abandoned newborn giraffe, named Jazz, was in a dire situation when he was first rescued a week ago by wildlife workers in South Africa.
But thankfully, Jazz was pulled out of a coma and is on the road to recovery -- all thanks to his new best friend friend Hunter, a guard dog at the wildlife rehab center. Under the attentive licks of Hunter, Jazz has been able to to gain back strength.
According to a Facebook post by The Rhino Orphanage, Hunter is equally taken with Jazz, as Jazz is with him. Hunter, who also assists in anti-poaching efforts has reportedly, "fallen head over heels" for Jazz.
"Just when we thought it couldn't get any cuter, sweeter and more heart-warming, this happened," the center wrote about a video (shared below) of the pair nuzzling each other, adding that the bond between the animals is "astonishing."
Hunter, is a Belgian Malinois, and "stays in the room all day with Jazz."Hunter doesn't even allow his brother Duke to come close to Jazz, according to the center. Hunter was so upset when Jazz was in a coma that he "didn't want to eat."
We're happy Jazz and Hunter have each other.
You know what they say, "Nothing unites humans like a common enemy." Perhaps the same can be said about cats, too. Santi and Indy don't normally get along but with a very new and real threat appears at home, they have no choice but unite together against the enemy!
Sometimes the animals we love suffer from tragic misfortunes. It is up to us to help these beautiful friends out and make their lives a little bit better as they do the same for us. Here are 14 pictures that show the compassion and love that some people out there have shown to their best friends. Via: Slip Talk
Best friends forever: the adorable photos of the puppies and the tiger cub were snapped at the Beijing Wildlife Park last Thursday. Apparently, they have been friends since they have been fed by the same golden retriever mother.
The Sunflower Farm Creamery in Cumberland, Maine shared this super cute video of one of their newborn Nigerian Dwarf goats, named Hector, befriending three ginger tabby kittens: "Hector the Nigerian Dwarf baby goat is just 2 days old. His Mama Amelia Earhart is a little protective of her only kid (most goats have 3-4 babies at once!) While he waits for cousins to be born in the stall next door, he has befriended the three barn kittens. Mom is not so sure about this plan! The kittens did inspire him to climb the wood shavings bale for the first time!"
If you thought this pair was cute, you have to check out these adorable kittens with milk mustaches, You could just eat them up.
This is the story of a unique family who filled in the paperwork needed to adopt a sloth before they ever even knew that baby Alia was on the way. But when learning that this family also owns a kangaroo called Boomeroo, an anteater called Noche, sugar gliders (a type of possum) and a cat called Larry, a sloth does seem like a logic addition to the family. Just two days after Alia was born, Daisy the sloth was introduced into their lives and since then, they have become inseperable! Check out their lovely photos together. Via: Sharesloth
