In the Animal Kingdom, friendship often cross the lines of genus and species and results in some oddball inter-special relationships - like this one. Dema, a 26-day-old endangered Sumatran Tiger cub cuddles up to 5-month-old female Orangutan, Irma at the 'Taman Safari Indonesia' Animal Hospital in West Java, Indonesia. 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. |
