Some of my favorite animal moments are when different species of animals find unexpected friendship and camaraderie in each other. Below are 16 photos of dogs, cats, birds, rodents and other animals all enjoying each other's company, even adopting one another as family. Beyond their species, beyond even their animal kingdom, these animals found that kindness and physical closeness is the bridge that connects even very different creatures. Enjoy the heartwarming photos of animal friends.

"Don't move Rocky, this is what you wanted... don't make it fly away... shallow breaths..."
"Is there NOTHING I can do to break your concentration?"
"Just pause for a second, it's a weird human thing, but they give us treats and kisses afterwards, all excited."
"Can you do the chicken dance? My back is really itchy."
"It's right behind me... isn't it? Just kidding, we do this all the time."
"You are small and bizarre... I like you."
