Footage provided courtesy of the Primorsky Safari Park shows the blossoming of an unlikely animal friendship in Russia's Far East. A husky puppy and a cougar cub, which had been neighbors at the Safari Park, but were separated by a fence, were introduced to each other for the first time and took an immediate liking to one another. The first meeting between the husky puppy named 'Umka' and cougar cub named 'Pumka' took place on December 24th, 2017 and the two youngsters couldn't help but play around and chase one another in the snow.
This ancient lion cub was frozen for tens of thousands of years until he was found in the permafrost in Russia's Yakutia. Scientists estimate that the animal reportedly died up to 50,000 years ago, well before the end of the last ice age, at just two or three months old. Now they have a unique opportunity to study the lion cub's intact DNA and organs to get insight into the lives of ancient cave lions and ice age mammals in general.

Have you ever heard of a liger? For those who haven't, it's a hybrid crossbreed between a male lion and female tiger, and it's among the rarest of large cats. This two-month old baby liger cub named Tsar was born in the Russian town of Kamensk-Shakhtinsky from a lion named Caesar and a tigress named Princess.
One of the most adorable and heartwarming things to see is animals caring for babies of different species. A rhesus macaque monkey found a stray dog puppy in the mid-western Indian city of Allahabad on Tuesday, and adopted it as if it were its own baby. As the primate was seen attentively holding the pup in its arms and carrying it through the city's streets, local people gathered around to see the two animals and take pictures of them. Both the monkey and the pup were given food and plenty of attention. This beautiful example of inter-species friendship and charity should serve as an example for us people too.
