But most of his grub had gone - after a crafty hedgehog got there first. There were no hard feelings, however, and the animals were spotted happily sharing what was left in Sue Massey's back garden in Leicester. 

Ms Massey, 60, was taking a video of a hedgehog lapping from a bowl in her garden in when a fox decided to join in. She said: 'I'd never seen anything like it before. 'We've got a lovely window for looking out at the garden and foxes and hedgehogs come regularly, but I nearly fell off my chair when I saw this. 'The hedgehog was there first and was just drinking away when the fox came along. There was no animosity and the hedgehog didn't seem fazed. 'After a while, the fox just seemed to give up and wander off.' 

Foxes have been known to eat hedgehogs but are more often than not put off but the layer of spikes covering the body. Hedgehogs are more likely to be a predator.

We don’t really imagine a rabbit the size of a small dog. But these giant rabbits do exist. 

As a result, social media is losing their mind over Cocoa Puff, the Continental Giant rabbit who lives in Seattle, Washington.

Despite his large size, he’s still so adorable. And it is his impressive body that has gotten him lots of attention as well as new followers on social media. 

This big boy has 322,000 followers just on Instagram alone. Cocoa Puff’s owner, Lindsay, shared with The Morning Show the family’s decision that led to them adding Cocoa Puff to the family. Her daughter, Macy, really wanted a pet but because the family are renters, they decided against a dog or cat. Instead, they decided to explore the option of rabbits. 

It was during this exploratory foray that the family discovered two things: giant rabbits do exist, and they are great with kids.

They ended up with Cocoa Puff. The gentle giant took a little time to get used to his new home, but once he was comfortable he quickly settled into the routine of being a house bunny. 

Lindsay explained, “I would say the house training took between six and seven months. But rabbits are actually very smart – I don’t think they get enough credit. It doesn’t take him long to learn a trick.”

Even though Cocoa Puff isn’t a dog, he still gets to go on adventures with the family. However, the family is careful not to take Cocoa Puff to places where dogs might be just on the off chance that one gets too close and decides to use him as a chew toy. 

The family shared with 7News.com.au that Cocoa Puff has quite the appetite on him. Even though he’s a rabbit he easily goes through two big plates of greens a day, plus his regular rabbit kibble, hay, and some yummy treats like dried bananas or mango slices.

The family has also expressed gratitude that their giant bun doesn’t seem to have too much interest in chewing on things that aren’t food. 

Since rabbits natural chewers, those who own indoor rabbits need to be careful that they don’t get into things like electrical cords, iPhone charger cables, or computer charger cords. 

As a former rabbit owner myself, I can definitely attest to their need to chew on things, which is why I always made sure mine had plenty of rabbit chew toys to play with like wooden blocks, balls of twigs, etc.

While our approaches to them may differ, they have the potential to bring us together. For a long time, humans and animals have formed strong ties with one another. 

While most people prefer to have a pet that they can keep at home with them, others have been able to form close ties with less-domesticated animals. This could range from owning horses to traveling with animals to nurturing barnyard pals. Whatever the case may be, humans and animals have repeatedly demonstrated that they can form genuine friendships and express genuine feelings for one another. 

Thanks to the internet’s power, a touching video of a donkey reconnecting with the young girl who nurtured him has lately gone viral. It can be difficult to educate a pet where to find their food bowl or where to go to the bathroom, but it is necessary for winning the animal’s trust and teaching them responsibility. 

Non-domesticated animals, like the donkey in the video, can also be trained. The amazing friendship between the two buddies has been witnessed by people all around the world. The donkey was overcome with emotion when he saw the girl in the video, and the girl warmly embraced him into her arms for a beautiful embrace. 

As they demonstrated their affection for one another, their friendship was evident and beautiful to see. Make sure to go all the way to the bottom of this page to see the entire movie It’s crucial to keep an eye on donkeys’ behavior, especially when they’re near other animals, according to the Donkey Sanctuary, because they may become highly possessive. 

While they prefer the company of other donkeys, they can form bonds with horses or mules on occasion. Donkeys can benefit greatly from having a long-term friend, but losing that friend can be damaging. 

According to the Donkey Sanctuary, “donkeys can form very strong relationships with their companions, and separating bonded couples can cause enough stress to cause the dangerous condition of hyperlipaemia, which can be fatal.” 

Hyperlipaemia is a condition characterized by an excess of fat in the bloodstream and is exacerbated by high levels of stress. Donkeys are intelligent animals that can learn and be trained rapidly. Throughout their entire lives, they never stop learning. 

According to the Donkey Sanctuary, donkeys who have been able to mingle with others, particularly with animals other than their own kind, are less prone to develop behavioral problems. Because donkeys are able to learn from humans every time they interact, this could potentially involve developing a deep attachment with people. 

Humans have a big influence on how donkeys learn and behave, which is why knowing how to train and communicate with them is so important. Because it is not normal for a donkey to be ridden or transported in a trailer, its conduct may be less than ideal during these activities. 

According to the Donkey Sanctuary, donkeys behave incredibly well when they are properly handled and have an expert trainer who knows how to connect with them. A video of a donkey’s reunion with the young girl who raised him has lately gone viral. 

The girl was seen standing in front of the gates, which were the only thing separating her and the donkey, in the touching footage. The donkey approached the young girl fast and let out a sound filled with mixed emotions. As he got closer to the girl, the animal’s braying became more regular. She grabbed him by the sides of his face once he was directly in front of her, and the two shared a nice moment together. As the little girl who nurtured him gave him a gentle kiss on the bridge of his nose, the heartfelt animal continued to bray. 

Although the animal’s movements were noisy and urgent, his face appeared calm as he was embraced by the girl in a tender embrace. He closed his eyes and drew his ears back, indicating that he was at ease with her. For a brief moment, the two friends hugged while the donkey tried to come as close to them as possible without crossing the gate. The donkey even appeared to be smiling at the end of the sweet footage, as he was still being held carefully by his compassionate pal. 

This movie demonstrates that animals have feelings much like humans. Humans and animals can form deep and unbreakable bonds with love and care that last a lifetime.

Nature photographer Suzi Eszterhas, 40, spotted the adorable pair of southern sea otters swimming in Monterey Bay, California. The mother otter lifted the pup out of the water and on to her belly to keep it warm and dry. 

The loving mother also blew air into the young pup's fur to groom it. Ms Eszterhas said she was surprised to see the otters come close to where she was standing. She watched as the mother left her child to float alone in the water. Young otters have a layer of natal fur that helps them to float unaided while their mother hunts for small animals below the surface.

'She did this so many times; it made me feel like a babysitter. It was adorable and it also really showed how vulnerable and trusting wild animals can be.' There are almost 3,000 sea otters living along the California coast - all of which are descendants of a colony of 50 otters discovered in 1938.

She was hungry and clearly unwell. The couple, taking pity on the animal, began to take care of her, and when it was time to give birth, they helped her, and then – her newborn puppies. 

After the pups grew up a little, and they could be weaned from their mother, kind people found them a new home. 

Despite the fact that the couple became attached to Negrita – that’s what they called the dog, they could not take her to them, because they felt that due to their age they would not be able to take care of her. Then they found a new owner for her – an old friend from the neighboring city of Jáchal – and they themselves took the ward to him. 

Everything was going well, but two weeks later, Negrita’s new owner called and said that the dog had run away from home. He searched for her everywhere, but it seemed like her trail went cold.

Days and weeks passed, but Negrita did not return. The owner had already lost hope of finding a pet, when suddenly one day Negrita appeared on the threshold of the house of that elderly couple who helped her in difficult times. It turned out that all this time she was looking for them! The dog walked 161 kilometers to return from Jáchal to Rivadavia. 

The long journey had robbed her of her strength: Negrita had lost a lot of weight and was covered in dirt and wounds. Back at home, the dog drank a whole bucket of water and then slept for 24 hours straight. The astonished couple called their friend and told him that Negrita had returned. 

The man offered to come and pick her up, but this time the couple decided not to part with the dog – after all, how can you betray such loyalty!

“It took a few minutes for me to realise what a once in a lifetime moment that was.”

Right here he is mosting likely to spend the rest of his life in tranquility and in the company of the various other elephants. The 35-year-old bull elephant’s dog’s life in an Islamabad zoo had actually created a terrific row over social media sites. 

The poor condition of the elephant brought in the focus of many animal legal rights protestors consisting of the popular American vocalist as well as actor Cher, that has actually done a great deal of effort for the release of the Jumbo. Cher together with Mark Cowne and also his wife has actually established the pet welfare group Free Bush. 

They have actually collaborated along with Four Paws, another animal well-being organization, and also American benefactor, Eric Margolis to relocate Kavaan and also this expense them regarding $400,000. 

Kavaan was changed there on a Russian cargo plane. It is not an easy task to move a grown-up elephant by airplane. There were some special demands. He was checked for Covid -19 and when his big steel box was put safely, he was supplied with treats for his seven hour-long journey. Even a tube system was mounted to stand up to 200 liters of pee. 

On his arrival in Cambodia, he was offered a cozy welcome. Cher herself existed at Siem Reap flight terminal to welcome him. Kavaan, birthed in 1985 is a male Eastern elephant. It is talented by the Sri Lankan federal government to the federal government of Pakistan to display the favorable partnership in between both nations.

Since then the elephant had actually invested his life in the Islamabad Zoo. In 1990, he obtained a friend a female elephant called Saheli. It desired the death of Saheli in 2012, he became really lonesome and revealed signs of irregular behavior. 

He ended up being so hostile that the keepers of the zoo decided to chain him. The inadequate living problems at the zoo in addition to the death of his partner Saheli took a toll on the psychological health and wellness of the elephant. 

His discomfort was of feelings. He would invest his time throwing his head from side to side which signifies dullness and unhappiness in an elephant. 

Since Kavaan is in Cambodia, where he will reside in the business of other elephants. We want him a really thriving life there.

The YouTube description says: We wonder how many people passed this poor wee one by and just kept on going. How many had the opportunity to save her and didn’t? She sat there, helpless, on a busy road. 

The description continues: “She is malnourished, she is sick because she spent life without shelter, no proper food and very helpless. Someone found her in her horrible condition when she tried to cross the street to something to eat.” At three months old, she has suffered the unthinkable until one man comes to her rescue. Armed with chicken, he comes face to face with the starving little soul. She shakes as she walks because she is so weak and malnourished; you can see every bone in her tiny body. 

The shakey puppy sniffs the food. She realizes there is now hope. She can now have a full tummy. But she has a long way to go. She needs a roof over her head for the rest of her life. Proper veterinary care. And endless love. Thankfully, her rescuer takes her immediately to the vet. 

She will spend as many days as needed under medical supervision until her health and weight are in the normal range. The vet believes she’s likely blind permanently. It’s unclear what will happen to this little girl– if her early life on the streets has caused her body permanent damage– but what we do know is that she will NEVER be alone again. Because her rescuer is now her new dad!
