Unlikely Animal Friends

Unusual feline friendships are spotlighted: a house cat who enjoys play dates with a barn owl, a deer who loves to groom her lynx pal, and a rare black leopard who befriends a white bunny.

Follow these wild animal pairs as they nurture, cuddle, and bond with each other against all odds: a rhino and a warthog, a badger and a fox, an orangutan and her stray kitten, and a baboon and her bush baby.

See how everyone's favorite friendly animals, the dogs, make the wildest friends. Cesar Millan joins us to explain why it's perfectly natural for dogs to make friends with wild animals.

Sometimes man's best friend is a goose, a seal, or even a bear.

A sheep befriends an orphaned baby elephant, a hippo makes daily visits to a South African couple, and a lion, tiger, and bear grow old together.

Highlights of the best stories from Nat Geo WILD's hit series Unlikely Animal Friends are brought together in this one hour special. Some favorite friendships featured include Ben the Labrador who is pals with a dolphin; a tortoise who befriends an orphaned hippopotamus; and a lion who prefers play dates with his human friends! These animals remind us that best buddies can come in any shape or size - BFFs forever!
