hi everyone it's no secret that dogs are considered man's best friends they're smart loyal funny and can help it's in difficult times but not only dogs can form bonds with people the internet knows many examples when other animals birds and even fish have befriended humans and although many of them probably understand friendship in their own way these stories are still pretty touching let's get it on big birds the Pelican in early 2014 a pelican named big bird made the headlines after he strayed from its flock following a severe storm the bird was doomed to death but fortunately the Greystoke muhuali safari camp in Tanzania could help the Pelican this rescue operation suddenly grew into a strong and very tender friendship Jeffrey manager of Greystoke Mohali helped big bird learn how to fish and fly sounds pretty weird but Jeffrey turned out to be a pretty good teacher although all he did was just running around and waving his hands well seems that these lessons paid off thanks to the care of safari camp employees the Pelican quickly grew and regained his strength it soon weighed 12 kilograms in addition to the usual skills necessary to survive in the wild Big Bird also learned to steel sunglasses and magazines he became a real member of the family and a beloved pets although people hope that over town the Pelican will be able to rejoin its flock this did not happen tragically the bird died during a boat accidents Asian sheepshead wrasse maintaining long-term friendship is quite difficult now imagine that you're friends with a fish that can't be right well Japanese scuba diver Hiroyuki Arakawa would disagree with us for more than two decades our okawa been visiting Yuriko a female Asian sheepshead wrasse that lives in Hazama underwater park in Japan when era waka first encountered the fish it was injured and couldn't catch prey on its own the man helped the fish survive by feeding at five craps every day the treatment lasted only ten days and Arakawa believes that this is what helped him earns your Rico's trust an elderly diver claims anyone can become friends with the fish if they feed it though the sea creatures don't usually trust you enough to let you pet them it's only possible if you stay friends with them for a long time by the way a recent study showed that fish could recognize human faces scientists presented the fish with two images of human faces and trained them to choose one by splitting their jets at the picture so the friendship between Yuriko and Arakawa is real and it's confirmed by science Jessica the hippo adoptive parents are known worse and sometimes even better than biological ones the story of a hippo named Jessica is excellent proof in 2000 many people were killed and injured in Mozambique in South Africa as a result of devastating floods but the natural disaster also affected animals a hippo was found on the banks of the local river apparently a flood separated it from its mother the little hippo turned out to be a girl but was so weak that it couldn't even stand Tony and Shirley Shu / the couple who discovered the hippo found out that she had recently been born it had still had its unfair cork or attached the baby who lost a mother at that age was doomed but the couple decided to help the animal out the baby was called Jessica the couple Fedder with a formula which consisted of egg yolk cream and full cream cow's milk surprisingly this strange mixture worked Jessica liked it and the formula also helped her grow quickly that's how Tony and Shirley's you pair became the new parents of a female hippo and their dogs became Jessica's brothers and sisters despite the size weight and huge teeth Jessica is very affectionate and never shows signs of aggression and although she now lives with other hippos Jessica regularly visits her adoptive parents and misses them very much Maria the goose once a former salesman Dominic Ella was taking his regular walk at the park near the lake when an unusual admirer took him by surprise it's not clear why but on that day a goose suddenly began to follow him no one really knows why Maria was so drawn to this particular person but on that day an unusual friendship was born Elmo fed the goose and soon she began to constantly follow him in the park and he even got jealous sometimes the bird drove not only dogs but even other visitors away from earlier Maria even tried to follow a new friend to his house nothing could ruin their friendship after all you can't hide from geese that easily about a year later Mary and the remaining permanent residents of the lake were temporarily relocated to the Los Angeles Zoo while the park was renovated Ella continued to visit the goose at the zoo and said that he wanted to be friends with her wherever the bird goes but then an unexpected thing happened vets at the zoo suddenly found out that Maria had been a male all this time well could it be a bromance the bird was renamed from Maria to Mario but this didn't change the relationship between the two friends virgin the crow crows are believed to be unusual and exotic pets but the bird named virgin isn't just a pest Vikki Kenwood found the little bird after it fell out of its nest and saw that it was seriously wounded keep in mind that animal experts recommend carrying little birds only if they have been get her abandoned by their mother but Vicky didn't hesitate a second she carefully brought the injured little crow home and began to take care of it the woman thought that it would fly away once it got better but that didn't happen the crow named fat Jin could now fly wherever it wanted to and return to the wild at any moment but it doesn't seem to like that he's going to leave Vicky perhaps fat Jin doesn't even realize that he's a crow he often chills with Vicky's dog at a house and follows them on walks he doesn't even fly like a normal crow Vicky says that fat Shane considers flying as an extremely entertaining sport Dan so I decided to take him home with me and he's been with me ever since port jackson shark of all the animals on our planet sharks are probably the least likable thanks to movies like jaws we consider them dumb bloodthirsty and merciless predators who only see us as a snack but the reality is way different from the filmmakers fantasies sharks can't be called man's best friends but we still manage to find one unique story Rick Anderson is a diving instructor from Port Macari in Australia and his best friend is a shark he first met his future friend when it was still very young and they formed a bond right away Rick carefully approached the shark I'm against it pet it and then even cuddled with it for a while since then the human and the marine predator became real friends each time Rick goes diving the shark swims by to greet him and grumpily pokes him with his snout when he doesn't cuddle with it obviously the shark doesn't stay in one place all the time but eventually it always comes back to the reef where it met Rick although this story might seem adorable the diver doesn't recommend befriending sharks they are wild animals after all and we should respect their personal space Brutus the grizzly bear Brutus was born in captivity and spent the first months of his life in a metal cage they would sue many animals in the Wildlife Park so Brutus was about to be euthanized but The Naturalist Casey Anderson came to the rescue he didn't just take the little cub away he basically adopted him because they're more than just a pets and an owner when Brutus was still just a cub he lived at Casey's house when he grew up Casey created a Montana grizzly encounter so that Brutus and other bears could live free there the thing is Grizzlies born in captivity aren't allowed to return to the wild they aren't adapted to it and aren't careful enough to stay away from people in the end Brutus and Casey became so close that the bear acted is the best man at the natural ists wedding we're not even kidding even though they have an amazing relationship Casey in no way recommends keeping grizzly bears as pets Brutus is after all a special case Casey even says that his friend is only 90% bear and the other 10% is all human Chiara the lioness lions can't / fuss if they could that is exactly how Chiara would react to her adoptive dad
