Heart-Melting Interspecies Adoptions
There are times when the animal world is cruel and cold, but there are other times when it’s not. These amazing animals adopted other animals, even though they’re not the same species.
The Sheep And Her Baby Elephant
Jabulani, a little elephant, was taken to the Endangered Species Center in South Africa after being abandoned by his own mother. There, he met Skaap the sheep. The sheep adopted the elephant, who was skittish and frightened, and now the two spend their days together.
The Deer And The Dogs
Pere David deer are rare, but twins are even rarer. When two babies were born to a mother deer at Knowsley Safari Park in England, the doe didn't know how to care for them both. She abandoned her fawn Mi-Lu, leaving the animal alone. Two dogs living at the park, Geoffrey and Kipper, raised the fawn together instead. Not only was this deer raised by adoptive parents, she was raised by two dads.
The Cat And The Squirrel
Rocky was just a baby when Emmy the cat found him. She had only recently given birth to her own litter of kittens, and adopted Rocky as her own. It’s odd because Rocky is a squirrel. Eventually, he even learned how to purr.
