Bubbles And Bella
When it comes to true friendship, size does not matter one tiny (or large) bit. Bubbles the elephant came to a safari reserve in America after conservationists rescued her from poachers in Africa. She met her best friend Bella, the park contractor’s pet and the two of them hit it off straight away.

Bea And Wilma
Having Bea the giraffe as your best friend might suggest that you have high expectations, but Wilma is quite down to earth. These two besties share a massive 65-acre enclosure, and in case you were wondering, Wilma does NOT bury her head in the ground during an argument.
Bea And Wilma
Tinni And Sniffer
What does a dog and a wild fox have in common? Well let’s say, many things, but knowing how to be a good friend is what we’re talking about. The canine pair met by accident in a forest in Norway and they’ve been best pals ever since.

Torque And Shrek
Owl bet you couldn’t imagine these two cuties cutting it as best friends. But who who who knows what could happen. Shrek, who who who is the owl by the way, became Torque’s younger brother when he was just 6 months old. Apparently spending time with each-other is a real hoot!
Torque And Shrek
Fred And Dennis
Dennis the duckling did not have an easy upbringing. A fox ate up his mommy and he didn’t know his daddy, but he did get to meet someone who would become his best friend for life and that was Fred the Labrador. Fred considers Dennis as his best friend and not simply as a charity case.
Fred And Dennis
Mabel And Kids
Saved byyy… the foot! When Mabel’s foot was injured, her owners decided that she would make a better dinner guest than dinner itself. She didn’t just become a guest, she would become a foster parent to a litter of puppies! I guess you can say this was a winner-winner chicken-din… never mind.
Mabel And Kids
Milo And Bonedigger
Who is who? Bonedigger is actually that massive hulk of lion getting his mouth licked by his best friend, a tiny dachshund by the name of Milo. A charity was set up to aid Bonedigger who is suffering from a bone disease that has disabled him, but it seems that the charity was not the main contributor to this 500-pound lion’s happiness. 11-pound Milo was.
Milo And Bonedigger
Koko & All Ball
Koko the gorilla both mastered sign language and loved cats! On her birthday in 1984, she chose a kitten best friend and named him “All Ball.” Koko reportedly cared for the kitchen like it was her own baby gorilla. How cute!

What Does The Fox Say?
So, what does the fox say? We don’t know but his best feline friend might. No-one knows their names, but what we do know is that these two are best friends and they are adorable! Seeing as fisherman spotted them in Turkey, we might actually know what the fox says… and it’s something in Turkish.

Shere Khan, Baloo And Leo

Hold Me Deer
Bambi is alive and well in the forest, folks. And he is not alone – animal photographer Tanja Askani showed the world that. It’s not everyday you see such close friends and it’s especially not common to see a rabbit and a deer getting along so well.

Suryia And Roscoe
When Suryia the orangutan discovered that Roscoe the hound enjoyed hanging out too, he knew they would make a great pair of friends.

Kate And Pippin

Anjana is not your average chum, or chimp for that matter. After a hurricane tore through two young tiger cubs’ mother’s enclosure, Anjana came to the rescue.

True Peace
A cat and a rat? There’s something wrong with that. Surely not friends, I surely can say, surely not lovers, it’s clear as day. But seeing this pair all cuddled and sleepy, maybe there’s true peace out there and I’m going to get weepy.
True Peace
