Different species of animals can form the most unexpected friendships, creating the most picture-perfect bonds. They offer each other comfort, protection, and physical benefits like exercise.
We’ve pulled 7 of our favorite unlikely animal companions that prove friendship doesn’t have to be limited to within the same species.
Cats are known for catching and chasing small objects, animals, and insects…but this cat prefers hanging out wants to do nothing of the sort with her hedgehog brother. These two are inseparable and the internet is taking notice.

Small dogs with even smaller animals make us melt daily, sobut we can’t not introduce to you the adventures of LouLou, Coco, and friends. These dachshund pups are obsessed with all of their furry animal species friends. These furry friends live in the Netherlands and share their cute content on Youtube for the whole world to enjoy.
There are so many wonderful friends on this account. The crew consists of mini dachshunds, bunnies, coots, and even ducklings. If you don’t know what a coot is, let this mini Dachshund introduce you. Don’t miss the adorable content featured- we promise you, your feathers will be all over it.
Speaking of feathers, have you ever seen a duck and a dog snuggle? If you haven’t, we’ve got you covered. This dynamic duo will have you asking, “if they can be friends, why can’t we all?” Barclay and his ducks are shown doing all kinds of fun bonding activities, some even consist of a Roomba! Barclay is so soft and gentle with the ducks, you would think he’d be a much smaller breed than a Labrador.
Barclay’s feather friends love to run around, snuggle, and us Barclay to practice their balance skills. Barclay can be seen in this adorable photo snuggling with his feathery brother.
What do a Pitbull and a crow have in common? Not much but somehow Peggy & Molly have found out they have more things to bond over. These two make for the oddest yet most adorable unlikely friendships this decade has ever seen. Peggy and Molly enjoy their time together playing in the yard, sharing toys, and even “bird watching.” Who knows if Peggy understands that Molly is too a bird, but maybe we just won’t tell her!
Although Peggy can’t fly, she can sure keep up with Molly. Look at this adorable video that showcases the bond these two share and how easy it is to play and build a friendship. Follow them for more adorable bird and pitbull content!
Talk about unlikely animal friends, Addie and Rosie are serving us the unexpected. Addie is just a small dog enjoying the company of an…Opossum? Opossum’s are rarely seen indoors but oftentimes make the greatest companions, and Addie can certainly attest to that. Whether it’s hiking in forests or snoozing beside each other, these two offer each other so much comfort and companionship.
Just when you thought you’ve seen it all, Addie and Rosie come to the internet to melt hearts as they play, inspect each other’s ear canals, and even sniff each other’s butts. These two are so close, they do a big morning stretch before they start their adventurous day!
Pugs are already cute enough, with their squishy faces and funny personalities, one might think they are maxed out on cute meter. Sia the pug and her animal friends take it to the next level. Her and her farm friends will have you wishing to be a part of their crew. Sia is a pretty active dog, so her crew may seem unlikely but they sure know how to keep up!
Sia doesn’t discriminate based on species. She loves playing with her chicken siblings and snuggling with her fluffy bunnies. This girl can’t get enough of her farm friends and the ducklings she thinks are hers. Just look at this adorable video of Sia watching over her ducklings.
Have you ever seen a unicorn? How about a unicorn with a dog companion? You’re in for a real treat. Harry the real unicorn loves his humans, but what he loves more is his sister Echo. Harry loves to play dress up and bring joy from his unicorn horn. He loves it so much that Echo decided she too is magical and joins Harry in granting smiles with her fairy wings. This relationship is so magical, it’ll leave your stomach filled with pixie dust.
These two can be seen running, snuggling, and keeping the children who come to visit their home entertained. This duo can be seen flying together and rolling in grass – something everyone should see! Check out Echo teaching Harry how to roll around in grass!
These forever friends have taught us that friendships can be found in the most unlikely of places. Regardless of species, animals will not always get along. They need to be comfortable and their feelings should be respected.
The saying goes, you can’t judge a book by it’s cover and these animals are great examples of that. Amazing things that can happen when we overcome discrimination and reach out a hand (or a paw) to our neighbor!
