This is just too cute!
Just the two of us: Rescued giraffe Kiko has formed a friendship with orphaned elephant calf Loboito - and it will melt your heart
After being rescued, the pair were housed next to each other as Kiko was too small to sleep in the giraffe stables
The pair struck up a unique bond, with Loboito said to love spending time under the long legs of his buddy
Heart warming footage shows the pair having the time of their lives as they scamper and play in their home in Kenya

They say love knows no bounds, and that is definitely true of an abandoned elephant and giraffe who have formed an adorable bond after being rescued in Nairobi.
Baby giraffe Kiko was brought to a wildlife trust in the Nairobi National Park after being found helpless and alone by Kenya Wildlife Service.
At one-month-old he was too small to sleep in the giraffe stable, but was instead housed next to the elephants, where he struck up an unlikely friendship with fellow orphan Loboito, a boisterous three-week-old calf.

After being rescued, the pair were housed next to each other as Kiko was too small to sleep in the giraffe stables
Wait for me: Loboito the elephant can be seen struggling to keep up when trotting behind his leggy friend
Heart-warming footage captured in October shows the small giraffe frolicking and playing with his new found chum, who was brought in after being found alone and hungry in Samburu.
Neither of the adorable friends would have survived in the wild as they are still solely reliant on their mother's milk, but thanks to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust Orphanage they are being given a new chance at life.
