If Different Species Can Get Along…

This first match made in heaven comes from photographer Roberto Saccon, who was watching out of his car window in São Luís, Brazil, when he couldn’t believe the sight that met his eyes: a monkey riding on a dog’s back. Luckily he was carrying his camera, so he jumped out of the car and followed the unusual couple. The dog’s owners lived nearby and allowed Saccon to shoot some photos, telling him that only one of their two dogs had formed the special relationship with the cute little monkey.


It’s hard to tell what’s guiding the behaviour of this next funny pair, though it looks like the frog may be getting steered by the mouse’s tiny paw. Is the mouse being rescued from highwater by the frog or is that just one opportunistic rodent hitching along for the ride? Either way, it’s a shot that has become a bit of a classic on the old intertubes, scoring high in the cutesy stakes.


These two definitely know where it’s at in the chilling department, in this picture of the joys of home comfort. Apparently, feline friend Jasmine makes a great baby sitter, helped by the string the kids of the house tie around the turtle’s shell, so that when the turtle trundles off, the cat pulls him back. The cat sleeps in the box and the turtle has become the bed mate.


This last image is definitely a domestic affair, as two pets of the lapin and canine variety get together for cuddles. Of course dogs and rabbits may not be too fond of one another in the wild, but tame them under our roofs and they become part of the same pack or colony, so that the mutual warmth they can offer overcomes the natural instincts of predator and prey. If only human adversaries could be as quick to bury the hatchett.

Some people can't even get along with the person in the mirror. This is a KMS page(Keeps me sane).

when they befriend each other, that is something to behold!

the subject fascinates me too...wonderful pix, thanks

at the same time.

My cat has really chilled out in her old age, she finally realizes that the dog isn't interested in hurting her.
