        We celebrate the unusual - From slightly odd to downright strange    


   Unusual friends make life more fun
"Much of life can never be explained but only witnessed" Rachel Remen, MD

  
These are Robert Rosing's striking images of a wild polar bear coming upon tethered sled dogs in Canada 's Hudson Bay

  
The photographer was sure that he would see the death of his dogs when the polar bear wandered in.  Instead, they played!
..
  
The bear returned every night that week to play with the dogs.
Many thanks to Jackie B. for sending this in.

  

  

THE HIPPO AND THE TORTOISE
   
  A baby hippopotamus that survived the Dec. 26, 2005 tsunami
has formed a strong friendship with a huge male century-old
tortoise in an animal facility in the Kenyan port city of Mom-
bassa. The hippopotamus, nicknamed Owen and weighing
about 650 lbs, was swept down the Sabaki River into the
Indian Ocean, then carried back to shore by the tsunami
waves, where he was rescued by Kenyan wildlife rangers.
  

  
The Samoyan that adopted the baby chicks...


    
Debby Cantlon was bottle-feeding an infant squirrel when
Giselle, her pregnant Papillion, adopted him.  Canton and her husband watched as the dog dragged the squirrel's cage to
her own bed -- twice -- just before she gave birth to her 5 pups. Canton was concerned, but since Giselle was adamant, she decided to let Finnegan the squirrel join the litter.  And he did!

  

CAT-BIRD FRIENDS: They may be "NATURAL ENEMIES",
but apparently this particular cat and bird don't know that
 

  

  

  

     
UNUSUAL POLAR BEAR ATTACK
Pender Island, Canada  -  Bear attacks man, mauls leg. 

   
If they can do it, why can't we?  At the next opportunity,
maybe we should try it:  Start up an unusual friendship.
