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.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Workman Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Unlikely Friendships: 47 Remarkable Stories from the Animal Kingdom | Jennifer S Holland | Paperback | 9780761159131 | Used: Very Good | Nature 1579532","offer_id":50598483493122,"sku":"1579532","price":26.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/81VNsu-WsxL.jpg?v=1791166080","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/unlikely-friendships-47-remarkable-stories-from-the-animal-kingdom","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
