These unlikely animal friendships demonstrate that different species can be best friends. I love animal odd couples and this list even has a guinea pig and of course a lot of cats. Some of my fave animal kingdom stories like 'Winnie the Pooh' are because of all the unusual animal friendships. A few of these are heart-warming and some are a pair of funny animals just acting silly.
Enjoy these ten beautiful videos over your lunch break!
