I'm jealous of her being able to see these friendships live.

Same, but that was truly fascinating

It's almost as if when survival isn't top priority, animals can have amazing personality to them. It's a theme I tend to see across the animal kingdom.

​@Ybarek G this is just factually wrong. You've probably never had an animal companion of your own.

It's not a personality... animals dont have personalities but it comes from common interest... for example the lion is lonely so it compensate for the pride by been friends with a dog or so... it's the need of company... like a bastard child with seek a man or women role model as deep down they know they need it.

and where survival isnt the main game... what do you get with animals??? retarded ones made for our pleasure. lol

It is the same for humans. If you have enough for yourself you are totally down to help someone out if they ask for something. Now if you need to hope that you can pay the rent next month, you would not be down to help someone while you need to help yourself. Hence it is easy for animals raised in captivity to get along with those of different species, as long as they know each other since they were young, since the one would not steal any food from the other. The thing that I can not wrap my head around though is that lioness. It almost seemed like she wanted to reform society or something. Truly strange.

With that being said, this doesn't apply to all animals.

Seeing a tiger n bear n lion shown friendship, incredible( we humans need to learn from these animals) learn from them how to treat other humans like them!!

Other humans are more animalistic and cruel then these animals most of them need to die the human species is broken especially the colored ones sry I'm not sry

humans need to learn from tigers how to treat humans? You want the great purge of cannabilism?

I never knew that about Rhinos and honestly I feel even more sad then before that they're endangered. Also, the part about the lioness was so sad, that poor mama 💔

It can happen to humans too... And it's just as deadly if untreated. It's called Addison's Disease, and is super rare. Unfortunately I happen to be one of the unlucky ones. I was actually quite surprised to learn I share my condition with rhinos! (and yes, my cat definitely help me to destress, or even just comfort me on days when I am especially afflicted ❤️)

Cheetahs also often need emotional support dogs, they're very skittish and get stressed in captivity

This is so well done! As a biologist I appreciate how they don’t just focus on showing the novelty of the cross-species friendships as a cute novelty but rather they really explore the biological basis of these behaviors by bringing in expert commentary. I wish that everyone who watches dodo clickbait videos on animal friendships would also watch this piece.

@Bill Bally When it got hungry. In the meantime, they’re playing with their food which doesn’t have any choice in the matter as it’s chained there.

As a biologist you should know that it's not exactly what it seems. The polar bear ate the husky.

@TsterMr63 I wonder if the first three animals being spayed enables the close friendships. It calms dogs and cats down.

Liz Bonnin is a legend

Seeing 2 different species being friends is always something I want to see.. So adorable.. 💯

Humans could learn a lot from nature if only humans would evolve towards kindness

Humans have very much evolved towards kindeness. We are one of the most altruistic mammals to exist in the animal kingdom. Additionally, you don't evolve through 'learning'

This is one hell of a documentary. Finding these special "unheard of" relations between cross species and covering them specially across the globe & presenting in such beautiful way is brilliant. Filled my heart with love. Kudos to the entire team for shooting this...

Something so pure about animal love .. ❤️

I laughed so hard when she revealed that the giraffe is named Camilla 😂

Imagine getting to travel all around the world looking for beautiful friendships and bondings in different animal species. This team has a LIFE.

Seeing 2 different species being friends is always something I want to see.. So adorable.. 💯

What a great job to have! But Capuchin monkeys are very mischievous around humans. Especially when they are dating!

@Tejinder Singh uu UU uh

@JANET LAMOTHE I don't think you would like all animals in the wild like Predators but also Chimps they go too war in a primitive way and rape sometimes and are bullies and they do kill and eat smaller Apes. These animals that they show were rescued when they were small and they get food so they don't need to hunt. I don't understand why these "experts" are so surprised when they don't need to hunt and get food from humans. Some people are writing " i would like to be friends with them" but many of them would not be so friendly in the wild, this is nice too see on one hand but its also sad they are not living a natural life . To really help people need to change but not tribes that are living the antient way they take only what they need but it is impossible too make everyone think in the same way.

The Animal 🦒🐯🐃🦣 Kingdom is Awesome🐅🦓🐈🐄🦌🐐🐎

I had an older guinea pig when I was younger. We ended up getting two brother kittens to help with pest control. Through no intervention of my own I started finding the kittens curled up with the guinea pig and they were all sleeping. They continuously did this until he passed away. It was amazing that they knew he wasn’t food. Every other rodent was but not him and I did nothing to train then that way. It was like they just understood he was family!

The deer and the dog story had me tearing up the entire time, how beautiful nature is ♥️🌍

Absolutely marvelous work by the care provider professionals that care for these animals. And you, Liz Bonnin, for sharing this with us.

Very heart-warming, especially the dog and the deer. We have a lot to answer for as a species.

@Annabel Grace Overrun? As opposed to the 8 billion humans that exist?

@Bradley Boyer well you said "show play and darkness" here was me thinking "darkness" was referring to bad things. How stupid of me. Did you mean darkness as in the absence of light?

@A D Volente Lol, what a stupid statement. Please point to where I said doing "bad" things was "okay"? I take it you aren't a real intellectual heavyweight.

@Bradley Boyer The fact you know what's good and bad is the very reason you shouldn't do bad things....I mean a cat doesn't torture a mouse because it's sadistic, it tortures the cat because it's in its nature. The cat isn't good or bad it just does what every cat does because its nature. Now when a human tortures or kills another, they know exactly the consequences of his or her actions, when a robber robs a bank, they do it wearing a mask because they know it's bad. The fact you think it's ok to do dark things because it suits you at the expense of other living people or living creatures gives me a good understanding what type of person you are. I would go as far to say someone with your outlook lacks intelligence and enlightenment. I guess it's become popular to do bad things these days and then have a poor lazy excuse as to why it's justifiable.

Why? We are just another species. We can show both play and darkness. We are imperfect, just like all the others.

My dog has a chicken as a pet. He let it his food and drink his water. He doesn't let anyone touch the chicken. The chicken follows him everywhere and they sleep together.

ho dhit

Animals nor pets have pets. They have friends and a bond.

He probably gets an egg or two as a bonus every once in a while that's why he's protecting him!

That is absolutely beautiful. What breed is your dog?

E coli

very well paced video with fantastic segues, great watch.

What I don't understand is how someone could downvote this? Like what kind of psychopath do you have to be? This shows the best brotherhood and sisterhoods that could ever possibly be created. Much closer than any human beings.

How delusional do you have to be to think there aren't humans that can have the same close relationship? Stop watching the dodo all day you goof.

Idk maybe because it’s shows bunch of terrified dogs being chained up and toyed around by one of the worst predators 10x it’s size? And btw one of the huskies eventually got killed by the polar bears so yeah maybe that’s why?

When she said "i just wish i had a friend as close as they are" I felt her wish deep deep into my soul 💓

I feel the same way she does.

Maybe u right

This is so adorable and amazing! I really love to see how animals can have close relationships with other species and it is a special bond they have! 🥺❤️

me and you can have close relationship too 😏

They are absolutly adorable play partners and living animals! We all need a friend don't we?!! 💜💜

Animals are more conscients than more othet humans 😍😻❤️

This is the best antidote to all the nonsense that’s going on. ❤

I have never felt closer to what I hope heaven is like after watching these animals exhibit such compassion and affection for each other.

I think with the Jack Russell and the Leopard is that, because the cat is being fed and doesn't have to hunt, kill then eat, that leaves nature to do some unusual things. With food off the Kitty's mind I think he might not even think about it much and it has no prey drive. If they are in a zoo or nature park that means it's not with it's own kind. So what happens...new friends and lots of playing together. That cements the friendship! Who wants to feel alone and sad. Animals have feelings, I think that's been proven time and time again! I'm wondering bout Leo, the Lion. He's a fully grown male lion but where's his mane?? Maybe the poor conditions and lack of good food and nutrition when he was growing. It's most likely that his hormones are whacky. And testosterone is one hormone that tells his brain to tell the body to grow a mane.

I know more about the story of the three, and Leo had his balls removed too young

Growing up my family had a very gentle black lab. She was the sweetest soul I’ve ever met, wouldn’t hurt a fly. Several years in a row, rabbits would make their nests under the slide of a swing set we had. Every time they had babies and the momma left, she would go right over to the nest, lay down and guard it. When momma came back to the yard, she would up and leave. She never did so much as touch them. My parents were freaked out when they realized she was hanging around this little nest of baby bunnies, but soon realized she caused no hard to them or the mama. I look back and wonder if her scent might have stressed out the mom, but thankfully the bunnies grew just fine and left when they were big enough.

They are a family who grew up in the same environment and same struggles. Wonderful story.

This was one of the most satisfying docs I’ve seen Recently. I just love ❤️ these relationships between the animals it’s amazing and so sweet 😊

The story of the deer coming back and for between the family and the wild is amazing. It's more amazing when the deer comes back to the house to give birth each time.

@ SORT COMMENTS BY NEWEST FIRST why do they make fake apes

@valar bruh your comment is somehow dumber than his.

@GRAPHENE IS IN THE MASKS, SWABS and PCR TESTS!!! The power of marijuana.

Back and for?

It feels safe

These animals could teach humans a thing or two about love and acceptance ❤️

Real Wild moves me with such magnificent documentaries-but when my man who usually only watches shoot-em up movies stood in awe & made sweet comments while watching this entire video with me, I knew I had to give my first Super Thanks. I truly thank you ALL for your dedication to such brilliant work.

thank you for the support!

This woman has the job of my absolute DREAMS ❤ This is incredible.

omgggggg the baby chimp and the cub stopppppppp they're SO CUTE

What a well researched, filmed, narrated and well put together documentary. Kudos Wild Things and Liz Bonnin as well as everybody involved in this. This has way to few views...hopefully not for long.

@Dee Lanayy 💙. Yay

Now at 29 million 😉

That is no a fucking well research anything, that is a force relationship they never will normally get along they natural competitors in be real life. They all got different natural behavior and territory, and they compete against each other. If you allow that lion go hungry for just a little he would attack anybody there.

totally agree!

ZombieMiezz 😸

Wow! These are very unusual stories of friendship between animals of different species. I've never seen or heard anything like this. What a wonderful world!

Omg I literally cried through The whole video. Life is so precious ❤

It is quite simple, for almost all of us. The reason these "odd" relationships work is the need for companionship that almost every animal in the right environment wants and needs. And that environment is where the basic needs for survival are already met and provided for.

I adore this host! She’s obviously very enthusiastic about her job ❤️

Can we all take a moment to appreciate how they nailed this video format. Most video's like this are super corney and target a younger audience. But this was actually interesting and fun to watch. Love this content!

Carved Cuts - videos corny

Carved Cuts - No. We can't.

@Hammond that sounds horrible!!!

well said!

Trust me, younger people don't like the content forced on us either.

I could't help smiling all the time. This is what I need as the happy pill.

I think when animals can show us that it doesn't matter if you have differences, it's LOVE that connects us. Beautiful!!💖💙

@orange yes

@Badgerbadger it's 2022 you really think you can offend anyone by calling them gay?

gay

You can see in the jaguar’s eyes that it has deep adoration towards the dog. Amazing!

The affection showed between the animals is astonishing

I love how the cat's reaction to the ducklings maturing faster than her kittens is: "Nooo! You're still my babies! Let me be your mom!!"

That's my favorite story 🙂 I love cats and that is just precious 💕 and those ducks were so cute too.. great great news

🤣🤣🤣 Yes! Exactly! 🤣🤣🤣

@Expired Pineapple That’s just scientific nihilism. She’s still feeling real emotions, I mean you could say the same thing about us.

@Randy R. 😂😂😂

@Marmello24 7y y

Aww l just think it’s amazing that Animals can make friends . I could watch this all day. Especially the bear lion and tiger so lovely to watch them all . Beautiful animals ❤️

I belive if such kind of documentaries are played during biology class of our children's, it will help them grow with affection for the natural habitat. It will also help them think how to be compassionate for one another. Excellent documentary!

@crabtrap Well, although those mammals have a genetic make up that govern their behaviour we should not totaly rule out learning behaviours which they aquire from their environment. At list it will help to inspire children's at the early ages.

but it would be a lie as these animals in the wild would rarely cohabitate.

I'd love to see you do a feature on clouded leopards. I guarantee you will fall head-over-heels in love with them. 😊

Im subscribing because I see a lot of trashy channels gain so much following, why not support something well thought of, well researched and produced.

i too have experienced the love of a group of unlikely friends and it was glorious, imagine a giant Rhodesian Ridgeback, a hand reared rabbit, a hand reared cockatoo, a tiny kitten, a tiny corgi pup, a wild robin and his wife and chicks, it was the greatest time of my life, and all about love and trust, and as every animal lover knows, you have to say goodbye and you have your heart ripped out.

That is so cool! Always thought predators like this would just kill each other. Seeing their bond gives me hope that humanity may have a chance. If these 3 can do it why not us too.

I love how the goats can teach the rhinos how to use their horns properly 😂

Oh my! The cat, ducklings, and kittens ..Mama Lion…really got to me !!!How sweet these cross species Mamas are❤️

I love how the cat mama is like "it´s okay, you´re a weird looking baby but you´re all my babies now"

😂😂

Arian Augustin IKR She’s so cute! She like, “Look at my babies swimming. They’re so smart already. I love how gifted they are.”

Cool

Arian Augustin yo how are you getting so many views on your channel good job

This reminded me of that one Tom and Jerry episode where a duck thought Tom(The Cat) is it's mom. Hahaha.

This video is so amazing. I wish they were thousands more. I’ll watch them all.❤️😘🫡

The Cat 🐈 and the Ducklings is Amazing. What a beautiful story! Awe.. ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you to the beautiful woman who saved all the puppies

It really is beautiful to see three large and powerful animals just hang out and coexist

When animals are young they’re just as impressionable as human children are, they learn to accept certain things as normal and take that with them into adulthood. They’re in a stage when they’re learning about the world just like we do.

@Fatit I honesty don't think it would take long for a human child to go feral. Our self domestication is a bit of an illusion, look how people behave when they are panicked (black friday, toilet paper, etc...).

Fatit Also I have to say I don’t know what you mean to say by saying “name another animal that gets as babies as humans do” I think the wording is confusing

Fatit So a newborn fawn can survive without its mother? A nest of baby birds without their parents? Animals mature much more rapidly, yes...but many species rely on their parents many months for survival. The only species I can think of off the top of my head would be most invertebrates, some reptiles, and some fish, which even those rely on their parents for protection for awhile. To be fair, most grown adult humans couldn’t survive out in the wild left to their own devices let alone a child. But that’s mostly due to the fact the we as humans aren’t taught how to do these things. I think you’d be surprised what a young child could be capable of if taught how to survive in the wild, of course not an infant but an older child of at least maybe say 6 or 7. Maturity is something that is forced upon animals because they’re hardwired for survival but you’d be kidding yourself thinking humans aren’t as well, a human put in a hard situation will try their hardest to survive. Just think about it, in some places there are grown adults that don’t know how to hunt or fish or even cook, but in some places there are children that go out by themselves hunting fishing and cooking. I digress, you’re correct to an extent. Most young children wouldn’t last at best a few days out in the wild and a young wild animal would comparatively stand a much better chance. All I’m trying to say is that animals go through a process of growing up not so dissimilar from our own. And forgive me if I seem to argue, that’s not the purpose of any of this, just serving the purpose of discussion.

Austin Barrett name another animal that gets as babies as humans do. Young children could never survive in the wild with just instincts compared to almost any animals instincts

JT Rudd Humans have tons of natural instincts that you probably just don’t think about because they are so natural to us. Humans also have lots of learned behaviors but animals do as well. Many animals have to be taught by there parents how to do things, what to eat, what not to eat, where to find things, etc. Animals are products of their environment just as much as we are. We really aren’t so different.

This is an incredible video. As a huge animal lover i truly enjoyed watching this video!

These are all so heartwarming..But I'm not going to lie. I broke down in tears when it came to the lioness adopting the calf, looking away for a second, and seeing her adopted "baby calf" Being killed. .she looked so heartbroken...I am bawling!!!

A Lion, A Tiger, and a Bear are best friends!! LOVE IT!!!!!

I love this video. It’s EXTREMELY informative but also has cute moments.

When she said "I wish I had a friend as close as they are" I felt that

@Matt from Wii boxingTM just come on YouTube , everyone is really nice usually. Especially the animal videos

Me too

You would have to have a Brain as much capable as theirs' are.

What a load of bollox

Il be your friend bby

Thank you for sharing this. And, thank you for your dedication in your work. I wish that this was shared on the daily news

On the question of pet keeping, I sometimes wonder if my cats don't keep me as a pet, or at least there is some case of reciprocity on offering food and care taking. I own a British short hair cat, named Uzume. When she gave birth to a litter of kittens the 2nd born came within a few minutes of the first. Usually there's about a 15 minute span between each kitten being born. That having happened, I had to carefully tear open the placenta or birthing 'sac', as the mother was obviously still busy doing the same and cleaning her first born. Of course I can't be 100% sure, but do now have a very unique relationship with this kitten - it is the most affectionate one I've ever had, but also incredibly empathic and keen to look after me. He often tries or wants to share his food, dragging his food bowl over, brings his toys over to me to 'nest' around me before going to sleep and well...he's just a silly, but remarkable little fellow. Both him and his mother also have a way of 'guarding' and sitting by the food of my bed whenever I've been sick and bed-ridden. It's neither here nor there, but named him Bowie, 'cuz he has black lines around his red/tabby fur as if he's wearing eye-liner and just has an androgynous way about him.

44:00 it’s funny - we all know Doc Antle differently now from the Tiger King series, but this is so lovely and cute. Primates are great. And dogs, well we all love dogs.

Forget Tiger King. Doc Antle isn’t like those guys. Watch Myrtle Beach and how things are brought up differently and the tours help support wildlife conservation in many habitats that are in need.

I thought i saw him pinch the orangutans shoulder to feed him when the monkey offered the treat to the dog

Yeah though I can't help but wonder if everything is as lovely and funny as it seems in this video

Love this video. Liz, thank you so much for posting and sharing.

The way the woman said “If we were gone for 5 years....they would see each other and greet one another as if no time passed.” Almost cried

This Documentary Literally Melted My Heart 💜💜💜

There is a story of a bear that saved a bady and took care of it

9:30 the way the chimpanzee baby looks at the humans, almost aware of itself is amazing. It almost puts a fresh light on the basic building blocks of life and, for me, makes me wonder it this kind of attraction is not just human and sentient but way, way deeper than that. What is that love, warming chemical and how does that transmit between species. Atomic relationships between life? Is that mother nature? Fascinating.

I enjoyed this video very much. It highlights how little we know about animals on this earth and the necessity of being willing to scrap preconceptions and open our minds to what we observe. I have only one criticism. Interrupting the narrative at less than five minute intervals destroyed the continuity of the stories. I sincerely hope the producers and non-profits involved in the creation of the video receive a substantial income from the annoying and intrusive ads.

What I got from this documentary is that "When your death doesn't mean my survival, we can co-exist happily even if you are fundamentally different". If only humans could take a queue...

in several of these cases it's pretty obvious that they learned this behavior from humans. No species on this planet will ever come close to how good of a job humans do at this.

Your point is literally a justification why we eat animals.

@Jade kai tru

@Jason Hymes Wild animals confined in zoos affect animals mentally, in turn causing abnormal behavior.

@Chuck Stone It's bc animals kill only for survival (food & territory) whereas if humans have all the food & territory they need for survival, they still kill just for pure evil or for fun & sport. That's why the human animal needs to take a cue from non-human animals, get it?

i wish we still have good times like this man where did time go so fast

The whole world is full of love. None of us just love our own kind. ❤

heart warming stuff, thanks Liz

Amazing relationship ❤

Thank you for your work in this field. It blesses my heart SO MUCH❤️‍🔥😍🤩🥰!

lions and tigers and bears, oh my. this is so off the hook. very wonderful.

Thank you Liz. To me the most important take away is that all animals have intelligence, empathy and emotions. Homo Sapiens are not the only sapient species. Let's start treating all animals with more compassion. I don't want to say 'humanely' - because as a species, we humans can't even achieve that amongst our own kind

Beautiful like the Impossible Groove Machine!

videos like this and nature’s medicine are the key to a great night after a long day at work. great journalism, great editing and audio production, so soothing and well done. y’all rock!

indeed

We could all really learn something from these amazing animals, show kindness to each other and we will all get along.

What they don’t tell you about the video of polar bears playing with huskies is that those same polar bears came back and ate those same huskies not even a couple days later.

Did the polar bears grow up with these huskies like the animals in this video?

Yeah, I wasn't so happy about that clip. Pretty ignorant, the dogs seemed stressed

Same as humans, if they're not hungry, they'll show love to others... There is a reason why some humans eat dogs. Survival has both physical (nutrition) as well as psychological (attachment/love) aspects to it.

What a beautiful friendship 🐻 🐯 🦁

The tiger and the bear are my favorite. Both of them know they could easily kill each other, but they play fight and it’s incredible to see. They’re predatory animals with strong instincts. The fact they both tolerate each other and don’t go for the kill blow when playing is just amazing to see.

Logan Tharp Not really. They both can hurt or kill each other. Both are super strong and weight is roughly the same (it depends really), let say this particular bear is heavier but a tiger has sharp and strong claws and teeth for killing a big prey. A bear has ones too, but not in the same way. Even if a bear heavier, a tiger has many muscles by genetics, faster technically (not about running). So it really depends on the particular situation. Both are very strong and gracious.

@Thou Swell maybe not easily but I'd say the bear is stronger then the big cat

@StarvingHub 1 I wouldn't go so far as to say "easily," but they are definitely capable of ending the big cat's existence.

The bear could easily kill the tiger*

Lions and tigers and bears oh my 😮

I wish I could show this video to my dad.. but I forget that he is watching this with me...he taught me the love for animals ❤️✌️

Adoption is beautiful. 💜

this was a pretty good project great job to everybody involved!

Love your documentary! ❤

This made me laugh and cry at the same time . We have a small children's farm where we live. When I was a child there was a donkey and a goose. They were inseparable, Always together, even when sleeping. They were a well known couple for 22 years. One day the goose died, The donkey did not come out of his stable for days, mourning and depressed. It was in the local news paper back then. I never forget it

birds usually imprint on the first live moving object they see. But it is still sad.

Mike Mondano haha:) I admit that was funny. English is not my first language, of course I meant farm for children

@Mike Mondano - lololollollllllllllllllllllooooooooooooooooooooooollllllllllllllllllllllololollololo

Mike Mondano That was funnier than it should have been.

You farm small children? 😂

I have a friend with a barn cat that protects the little chicks from predatory birds like blue jays and crows, but the ducklings suckling from momma cat takes things to a whole different level.

We have always had both dogs and cats and they play together, sleep together and are concerned if the other one gets sick or hurt. All of my neighbors say they have experienced the same thing with their pets. my sister had a parakeet that regularly hopped around on her cat and the cat even tolerated the parakeet trying to preen the cat.

I liked their farm. They are so cute, and the animals feel good. They are well cared for and bred!

Love these places and institutions. We should support and fund the definitely.

Imagine breaking into a house and there is a bear, lion and tiger in the yard

Imagine the postman!!! 😂

Well, that will teach you to NOT break into peoples homes. I have no sympathy for whatever happens to them lol! Better run really, really fast lol!!!😂

is there a toilet or a diaper?

Three letters S.O.L. Love from New Jersey ❤❤❤❤

Only try once 😂

all my love 😍 to this amazing 😻 people who take care of these wonderful creatures.

Imagine if wild bears and tigers realized that they could be friends and started building nations together lol

Wow it's amazing, thank you so much for sharing ❤️🙏

I read somewhere that jaguar cubs are very shy, so they have their own emotional-support dog :)

This is such a heart warming documentary. We can learn a lot from these animals as humans.
