Just like humans, animals also love to make new friends.<\/h2>\n

These animals are also capable of feeling love, emotions, and compassion, just like us. Well, it’s not wrong to say that all animals are adorable, but sometimes we fail to understand them. We can’t comprehend why do these animals form friendships that are so unusual and strange? Like dogs playing with chickens and lambs, or with chameleons. Maybe because it’s a rare thing to see, that’s why we consider it strange! Anyways, we have always seen in the cartoons that the birds and mice have one enemy in their life: Cats!<\/em> Well, that’s not true, cats are not enemies, nor do they always chase them to eat, but in real life, these cats can become excellent companions.<\/p>\n

So, let’s have a look at these creatures in the world who have formed strong social bonds with other species.<\/p>\n
