9 unlikely animal friendships that will put a smile on your face

They are challenging expectations and being adorable ALL AT ONCE.

ANIMALS SEEM TO keep themselves in pretty strict groups when it comes to friendships.

In fact, they seem downright clique-y at times.

Thankfully there are animals who care not for the traditional roles and are making some highly unlikely friendships.

We found this lot (including some from the heady days of black and white photography) that will make you smile and possibly even shed an animal related tear (or is that just us?).

The way that dog is looking at the racoon as if to say “Would you please calm down?” is the kind of thing we all do with our friends.
