Written by National Geographic magazine writer Jennifer Holland  Unlikely Friendships documents one heartwarming tale after another of animals who  with nothing else in common  bond in the most unexpected ways. 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 preyan 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 whyhow 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 others body language. With Murphys friendship and support  Kizzy recovered from life as a racing dog and became a confident  loyal family pet.  These are the most amazing friendships between species  collected from around the world and documented in a selection of full-color candid photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44986232471605,"sku":"ByrdShop_0606235035","price":27.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780606235037.jpg?v=1770893498","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/unlikely-friendships-47-remarkable-stories-from-the-animal-kingdom","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
