Meet Samantha the Gorilla and Panda the Rabbit. And yes, the two animals are best friends.
It all started when Samantha’s male gorilla companion named Rudy died in 2005. The two gorillas were being kept in Erie Zoo in Pennsylvania.
But because Samantha is already 47 years old, she is too old to have another male companion. In February 2012, the zoo staff introduced the Dutch rabbit to the aging western lowland gorilla.
The two animals lived in the same enclosure and gradually became best of friends.
Another tale of unlikely friendship!
