Merry Christmas and a Happy 2017 for all of you and 

your families.  I think the below pictures are trying to

teach us humans something, don't you.

After spending a lot
of time alone in the same room of the owner's house, a crow
and a dog grew fond of each other. The crow
is almost always on the dog's back,  the dog even barks
when people try to touch his pal.

The owner built a
custom harness for more comfortable rides.

After a devastating
forest fire, fire rescuers ran out of crates for the animals saved
from the blazes.  This fawn and baby bobcat were placed
together in the office. Hours later, firemen noticed they'd
taken a liking to one another and cuddled for the duration they
were kept together.

 

A duck and house cat
were raised together by a family. Reportedly the duck
hates water and hasn't figured out yet that it can fly.

 

A wild-life park in
China adopted two tiger cubs, which were soon adopted by a
worker's dog that happened to be in the pen frequently.

 

The Fernandez family
adopted a tiger cub after it had lost its family.  It has
been raised with the family dog since infancy, and they are
inseparable.

  Humphrey the
hippopotamus was a house pet that became too
large and was moved to the
Rhino & Lion Nature Reserve in South Africa , where he was safe but
lonely.  A Cameroon Pygmy Mountain Goat climbed the fence into
Humphrey's enclosure and befriended him.

Sobe the iguana and Johann the cat were
both rescued by a woman in Brooklyn ,
NY . Every day when the iguana is let out of her cage, she
seeks out Johann for play time, along with a rabbit also kept as
a pet.

 

Koko the gorilla is
famous for having learned to communicate by sign-language. For her birthday one year, she made signs to her teacher that she wanted a kitten.

Koko's teacher was n't
surprised, as Koko's two favorite books were about cats.

They adopted a kitten
from an abandoned litter and Koko showed it great care and
gentleness.

 

A lioness abandoned
by her pack decided to adopt a baby impala after killing
its mother. Several times, she tried to leave the baby in the
company of other impalas, but ended up having to take the
baby back under her wing after the adult impalas were
frightened away by her.

 

A giraffe and ostrich
form an odd friendship at Busch Gardensin Florida .

 

Owls that hatched at
a hawk conservatory were adopted by the park-keeper
and became friends with his pet dog.

 

After a family took
in this stray cat, she grew fond of their elderly dog.
Realizing the dog was blind, the cat took on the responsibility of
leading the dog to his water, food, shade, and toys. She would
follow closely under his chin to guide him.

 

 

A stray cat wandered
into this Asiatic bear's enclosure at the Berlin Zoo.  It
has been coming back frequently for 10 years to visit its friend.

  

This unusual pair
have been seen together for over a year in Lake Van in Turkey . They were first spotted by a local fisherman who witnessed them sharing a fish
and playing together.

 

  At the Tiger institute in South Carolina , a female chimpanzee raised white tiger cubs after they were separated from their
mother.

 

A photographer witnessed a wild polar bear coming upon tethered sled dogs in the wilderness of Canada 's Hudson Bay . Instead of devouring
the dogs, they played and cuddled. The polar bear
returned every night that week.

  

 

Other examples of strange and improbable
animal friendships:

   

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

  

I hope you enjoyed
these photos as much as I did.

It makes it
difficult  to figure out why humans and
nations can't get along like
this.
