Odd Animal Couples
A fawn and a kitten snuggle up to each other on the grass.
This wild monkey, a long tailed macaque, has adopted an abandoned ginger kitten and cared for it as his own. In Bali, the wild monkey protectively nuzzles and grooms the kitten, who has no qualms about getting all this attention.
These two have become quite the pair ... Miwa the baby monkey hangs onto the back of beau, Uri-bo, a baby boar. Both were brought to the zoo in Kyoto back in June after being found without their mothers. The couple reportedly goes for regular walks together and have become quite a hit. Japanese monkeys always ride on theirs mothers' backs, and Miwa quickly took to Uri-bo as a replacement.
Aww! Four-week-old Cherub the baby White Faced Scops Owl has a furry guardian: Kiera a German Pointer.
Who says a sheep and an elephant can't be besties?
They may naturally be enemies but that didn't stop this motherly dog from adopting an unusual little one - a kitten. How sweet!
This hamster should be dinner, not a snake's best friend - and in fact zookeepers offered up Gohan the hamster (whose name means "meal" in Japanese) as a tasty snack when Aochan the snake refused to eat frozen mice. But instead of chowing down, he made a friend. The pair cohabitate in harmony in a cardboard box at the Mutsugoro Okoku zoo in the outskirts of Tokyo.
These cross-dressing piglets are just trying to fit in with their new mama. Tourists watch a tigress with piglets at the Sri Racha tiger zoo, in Chonburi province southeast of Bangkok.
In this three picture combo, played out on the front walk of an Amish family in Middlefield, Ohio, a black cat approaches a resting dog, and then makes herself quite comfortable with her new-found friend.
