Some people might think that nature is all about competition and surviving, but it's not always just that.
Wild animals can also become friends - and though their relationships are pretty much different from what humans have, it still counts.
Here are a few examples.
It's based on their instincts
In nature, wild animals typically interact based on their survival instincts and natural behaviors, rather than forming friendships as humans do.
While it is possible for wild animals to have social bonds and cooperative relationships within their species, these interactions are driven by factors such as kinship, mating, or group dynamics rather than the concept of friendship as humans understand it.
Some species, such as primates, dolphins, and certain bird species, exhibit complex social structures and engage in cooperative behaviors within their groups.
They may form alliances, engage in grooming rituals, or cooperate in hunting or raising offspring.
It rarely happens between different species
It is rare for wild animals from different species to form enduring social bonds or friendships in the wild.
While there have been occasional instances of interspecies interactions, such as an unlikely friendship between a dog and a deer or a lioness adopting a baby antelope, these cases are considered exceptions rather than the norm.
The natural instincts and behaviors of wild animals prioritize their own survival and the perpetuation of their species.
