16 Photos of Adorable Animal Friendships

Edited By: Shai K.

Some of my favorite animal moments are when different species of animals find unexpected friendship and camaraderie in each other. Below are 16 photos of dogs, cats, birds, rodents and other animals all enjoying each other's company, even adopting one another as family. Beyond their species, beyond even their animal kingdom, these animals found that kindness and physical closeness is the bridge that connects even very different creatures. Enjoy the heartwarming photos of animal friends.
