This may be an example of symbiosis, a term that describes close and often long-term interactions between animals of different species. Hippos are more commonly known for their symbiotic relationships with certain birds, which are given free reign to pick parasites out of the hippo's skin while getting themselves a free meal in the bargain.

These two seem perfectly content sticking together, and it may be that a
new relationship behaviour is developing between the species that's
unique to the shores of Little Cayman in the Caribbean, where the photo
was taken. Perhaps the ray is being cleaned, while its companion fish
gets to scavenge food.

It seems more of a brief
encounter than the beginnings of a beautiful friendship, but it's a
really cool capture nevertheless. Amazing how tolerant moose and kitten
are as they sniff each other out. They must both be pretty chilled
animals.

Apparently, feline friend
Jasmine makes a great baby sitter, helped by the string the kids of the
house tie around the turtle's shell, so that when the turtle trundles
off, the cat pulls him back. The cat sleeps in the box and the turtle
has become the bed mate.

Of course dogs and rabbits may not be too fond of one another in the
wild, but tame them under our roofs and they become part of the same
pack or colony, so that the mutual warmth they can offer overcomes the
natural instincts of predator and prey. If only human adversaries could
be as quick to bury the hatchet.
