Interspecies friendships


I’m not sure how I’ll do this.  Most of these videos come from FaceBook, and it’s difficult to download or link them.

Animals of different species sometimes bond to each other, indicating empathy and even loyalty.  These friendships even occur when their normal relationship would be predator and prey.  I will provide many examples here below.

Who can say these creatures don’t have souls?

If different kinds of animals can get along like that, why can’t different kinds of humans?

I may add a separate section to this post, all about tortoises.  They are more intelligent than I gave them credit for.  I had a baby turtle once, and thought it was just stupid.
