Primates and dogs don’t normally get along too well, but
Suryia the orangutan and
Roscoe, a
Blue Tick hound have become best friends.
Their
beautiful friendship began when
Roscoe followed some of the caretakers at a
South Caroline animal shelter through the gates. As soon as she saw him,
Suryia ran to him and started playing. Since that day, there’s nothing the two love more than swimming and rolling around together. The
friendly orangutan even takes her buddy on his daily walks and occasionally feeds him some of her monkey biscuits. When bored, the two take a ride on
Bubbles, a 27-years-old
African elephant.
Word of their bizarre but beautiful relationship reached the media and now
Suryia and Roscoe will be featured on one of
Oprah‘s special shows, called
Amazing Animal Friendship.
National Geographic also paid them a visit.
Their bond might seem incredible, but if
tigers and pigs can be friends, then anything is possible.
