About This Book
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 prey—an Indian
leopard slips into a village every night to sleep with a calf. A
lionness mothers a baby oryx.
It is exactly like Isaiah 11:6: “The wolf also shall dwell with the
lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid . . . ”
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.
These are the most amazing friendships between species, collected from
around the world and documented in a selection of full-color candid
photographs.
