Yeah, we were DVRing through American Idol last night and in a blur I saw this and told my wife to stop as it looked interesting. So we wathed it and both thought it to be so cute

P.S. Some of those images HAD to be superimposed. Come on a Warthog on a Sea Turtle , Monkey on a horse's back, Lion nuzzling up to a Bear, dog swimming with dolphins

Thanks

That is a sulcata tortoise aka african spur thigh aka african spur - not a sea turtle.

I have two of them

The one in the video is a baby.

Robert said Wathing. It means watching someone bath.

And you still went for the insult...about having a lisp. Do you think having a lisp is funny? Do you know how many lives are shattered by lisping? DO YOU??!

For years, my mother hid me in a closet, away from neighbors, because I once said "Wash" instead of "Warsh". She thought I had a lisp. And lisps are caused by being cursed.

Dan; I want you to sit in your room, and think about what I just said. And then apologize to the thousands of Lisp sufferers out there, for your insensitivity.

Robert; I got your back on this. If Riffle bothers you again, just let me know.

No. I've seen animals make friends like that. Some of these may not really be friends, but just animals that tolerate each other.

And baby mammals love everyone. Some may be raised together.

Remember, all these animals have been make pets by some of us. And to animals, we're just another animal. So, sure, they can become friends.

I watched a video of a squirrel playing with a cat. They really liked each other. Enjoy.

HOW does such a thing happen? I mean the squirrel is acting VERY free around the cat, and the cat is ignoring basic instincts that cats and dogs and others have. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE this, it is just SO odd!

Neat pet, Ken. I don't think any of those are super-imposed. There's a lot of pics on the net of animals that make friends with other species - even some that would usually be dangerous to each other.

This is a kewl ad. Unfortunately, some advertisers never get the drift - I saw one today that was just incredibly bad and it made me do the RCA head twist wondering how much someone got paid for producing trash. Seriously.

  I had turtles when I was a kid. They are smart. They're fairly affectionate, too.
  
  A few years back there was a large turtle in the middle of a road that was about to become a busy road so I picked it up. Called it Roadkill. I kept Roadkill until I could get him to a place where there were other turtles and let him go. It was pretty obvious that he'd been captured as an adult. He seemed to understand immediately that he was being freed. He ran to the water (if you've ever seen a turtle run, it's pretty humorous) and dove in then surfaced and swam back toward me and we just sat and looked at each other for a few minutes. Then he turned and swam off. I watched him swim to a small island patch in the water and climb out where there were other turtles sunning. It was awesome and I know when he had swam back and looked at me, he was saying thank you. There was a shine in his eyes that wasn't there before. Still makes me feel wonderful to think back on it.
  
  Thanks

I also saw the commercial last night during American Idol and loved it.

It is a complilation and I've seen several of the videos before (the dog and deer - the elephant and dog - the dog and porpoise).

in a blur I saw this

Same here - we were fast forwarding through something and I noted the images flying by in the little pix window and I was "stop, stop - I wanna see this". Then we watched it several times!

I believe it's a hyrax, which is a particularly interesting little mammal. Not only is it considered to be one of the closest living relatives of the elephant (seriously!), but some studies suggest the male hyrax's song contains syntax.

The odd thing is that humans SHOULD live in peace with one another. MOST probably WOULD, if not for the others.

Cats, dogs, and the like, often paw at things, etc... and chase things that are running. Each species USUALLY gets along, at least if they will be under the same lead. Heck, they generally hunt together, and share to a degree.
