If monkeys and chickens can bond why can’t human beings the world over just get along?
That Peg, is the punchline. Right there.
oh, i so love this!
So cute and for sure animals blend so well with other animals. It is us human animals who do not want to blend with each other. Lovely picture, so cute.
Yes. Well stated.
Thanks
Perhaps a Palestinian chicken in a Tel Aviv zoo! 🤗
Ha!
Yes.
Strange bedfellows, indeed.
Aren’t they though?!?
Love how perfectly at home both appear.
They certainly do…
We apes love our pets.
Laughing. True.
Amazing.
I don’t know if unlikely friendship were always this common. Or is it just that we’re more aware of them due to the Internet and social media. My hunch says they are on the rise.
Need to be as Man is slaughtering everything.
True…
On a funny note. My husband keeps saying that my friendships with our ex-spouses is a very unlikely one!!!
Now, that, is FUNNY.
Oh, you have no idea…
🙂

Rainy days and Mondays …
Like that!
Let’s hope the zookeepers are not late at feeding time.
😜!
Ha!
I had to look it up: “Despite their name, crab-eating macaques typically do not consume crabs as their main food source; rather, they are opportunistic omnivores, eating a variety of animals and plants.”
Oh Boy.
Well, that made my day.
Smiling. Thanks Jordan. Me too.
Posting this morning on the pardoning of Joe Arpaio, the headless lawman who created tent city prisons in Arizona, this picture gives me hope. It’s one for the ages! I’m re-blogging on Views from the Edge.
Smiling. The picture does give me hope too! Thanks for sharing Gordon.

A hopeful contrast to Sheriff Arpaio’s tent city prisons! We’ll take hope wherever we find it. Sometimes it comes from the zoo beyond the borders of the U.S. zoo.
I love all “inter-species” love stories… 🙂
Me too. I’m like a moth to flame on these types of stories.
Too bad humans can’t take the hint. Sweet thoughts ooze from that image.
Truth!
Interspecies love is so powerful!
It is!
