10 Unbelievable, Unlikely Animal Friendships
The Sheep and the Elephant
The Daily Mail reports that the first time Albert the sheep met Themba the elephant at the Shamwari Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre in South Africa, he didn't exactly roll out the welcome mat: The baby elephant, orphaned at six months old when his mother fell down a cliff, chased his new friend Albert until the sheep took refuge in a shelter -- for 12 hours.
But since then, the animals have been "inseparable," say observers, napping together, walking together, and even picking up habits: Albert figured out how to eat thorny bushes by following Themba's lead to avoid the spikes.
