I just read this article about 2 orangutang orphans and 2 siberian tiger orphans that have become unseparable friends at the nursery where they are staying. This just really touched me, to see them being taken care of after being abandoned by their mothers. But to see them become such good friends, when their natural instinct would to be enemies just astounds me. I guess only time would tell if those natural instincts would take over. I just think it is a lovely story. At least the animal lover in me found it to be heartwarming.

I tried to analyze what you posted here. I think 2 or 3 animals may belong to different breedings but for as long as they grew up together , they will remain the best of friends. They may be animals but they have feelings also. Same goes with us human being. We may be of different races, different cultures and background. We can also have different views and opinions. But what makes us truly unique, apart from the animals, is that we were gifted to have a mind and a heart learn and to share each other's lives. I love this story. This is one of those that amaze me.

That is what I thought when reading this. We as humans have need to learn from them, with all of our differeences, we can still get along and love each other. Thanks for putting it so beautifully. :)

This just goes to tell you about life and the way God works we dont really have to be bad or confused with the way we relate in our day-to-day activities,if God can torch this cute beings who are supposed to be enemies and let them live together and be pals no matter how short a time . Then lets { we} take a cue from this and learn to love ourselves and each other to make is world a better place i belive peace is the altimate.

That would be a really heart warming story. It is so cool to see animals that are enemies get along cause one needs the other. It shows what can happen if even a animal needs another it can happen.

That picture is so cute! I am a big animal lover too and it breaks my heart to see orphaned animals. I am happy to see they are being taken care of and they are meeting friends on the way. :)
