A cat and a bird. A mare and a fawn. An elephant and a sheep. A snake and a hamster. The well-documented stories of Koko the gorilla and All Ball the kitten; and the hippo Owen and the tortoise Mzee. And almost inexplicable stories of predators befriending prey--an Indian leopard slips into a village every night to sleep with a calf. A lionness mothers a baby oryx. Ms. Holland narrates the details and arc of each story, and also offers insights into why--how the young leopard, probably motherless, sought maternal comfort with the calf, and how a baby oryx inspired the same mothering instinct in the lionness. Or, in the story of Kizzy, a nervous retired Greyhound, and Murphy, a red tabby, how cats and dogs actually understand each other's body language. With Murphy's friendship and support, Kizzy recovered from life as a racing dog and became a confident, loyal family pet. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese are the most amazing friendships between species, collected from around the world and documented in a selection of full-color candid photographs.\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 0761159134\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9780761159131\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Holland, Jennifer S.\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Workman Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Workman Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Jun 2011)","offer_id":46080509935813,"sku":"9780761159131","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9780761159131.jpg?v=1776037979","url":"https:\/\/www.inveni.store\/products\/unlikely-friendships-47-remarkable-stories-from-the-animal-kingdom","provider":"Inveni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
