that's really interesting. its refreshing to see the bonding of animals especially when human bonds failed in so many different ways and areas. maybe we can all learn from the swans and fishes
u gotta watch the swan and fish together for 3 years its like an investment lolz buy some differnet pets and watch them grow toegether? hehehe
^^Awwww!!! I really wonder why these ducks/swans would do such things, could it be that these birds have a sense of sympathy for other animals? Ha, like a cat and a bird and if you're lucky they can get together very well and if not...well bye bye birdy...
Kinda Related: NAIROBI (AFP) - A baby hippopotamus that survived the tsunami waves on the Kenyan coast has formed a strong bond with a giant male century-old tortoise, in an animal facility in the port city of Mombassa, officials said. The hippopotamus, nicknamed Owen and weighing about 300 kilograms (650 pounds), was swept down Sabaki River into the Indian Ocean, then forced back to shore when tsunami waves struck the Kenyan coast on December 26, before wildlife rangers rescued him. "It is incredible. A-less-than-a-year-old hippo has adopted a male tortoise, about a century old, and the tortoise seems to be very happy with being a 'mother'," ecologist Paula Kahumbu, who is in charge of Lafarge Park, told AFP. "After it was swept and lost its mother, the hippo was traumatized. It had to look for something to be a surrogate mother. Fortunately, it landed on the tortoise and established a strong bond. They swim, eat and sleep together," the ecologist added. "The hippo follows the tortoise exactly the way it follows its mother. If somebody approaches the tortoise, the hippo becomes aggressive, as if protecting its biological mother," Kahumbu added. "The hippo is a young baby, he was left at a very tender age and by nature, hippos are social animals that like to stay with their mothers for four years," he explained. just goes to show nature can be pretty caring
omfg.. that turtle is HUGE!! -shock animals be on some whole nother level wit the interspecies relationship...
Awww, the baby hippo seeks a surrogate mother in the form of a giant turle! Despite it's own huge size -compared to most other animals- the hippo is just an infant who needs care and protection. Sweet.
That is very cool, the bond that is created is everlasting. Only wish that i could see this for myself.
Gee, first you have Cow eating Chicken. (See other thread) Then a Pelican eating a duck and pigeon. (See other trhead) Now this!!! What happens to the animal world? Are they as crazy as the human world
