Friendship is great. Animals are great. Animal friendships? You guessed it – it's great. This list is for those wonderful animal best buddies who look beyond each others' (often considerable) differences and see the wonderful souls beneath the surface.

When their life isn't a struggle to survive (which often is the case in captivity), some predators can even potentially look at prey animals as friends, not as food, thus forming very unlikely animal friendships. Most of our readers probably don't keep lions or elephants, but if you've got some cute photos of unusual animal friends, we'd love to see them. And vote for your favorite adorable animal pairs, too!

Animals are emotional beings as much as humans. These photos are a wonderful peek into this world of animals love.

Oh my ... it's so cute how the little monkey puts his head on the pigeon's shoulder and his hand on his back.

Their story is one of my favorite ones. But I always wonder what will happen when the dog will die and the lion will lose his friend... :'(

Best buds! Rats are very social animals and a lone rat as a pet is a stressed rat needing companionship.
