A Cheetah and a Dog: BFF's forever

[W_L]

Well outside of politics, I also have an interest in zoology and animals

 

I know for a fact dogs and cats can be friends. However, I didn't realize that they could be so close, even to the point where it's kind of like a couple.

 

 

I find all this stuff extremely fascinating. It also highlights an additional point that sexuality and relationship are not dead set in animals or human beings.

When the lion lays down with the lamb, or a dog befriends a cheetah. Can humans emulate that example?

Hurrumph. It's not 'can they', it's 'wil they'.

Never heard of anything like that before.

It's something managed though, it is not really something that you would find happening in the wild!

At the time W_L posted this video, I was watching the program Nature on PBS. This episode dealt with non-human animial bonding.

 

Why would a goat spend 16 years with a horse? You can find the answer here by watching the episode.

I was watching the same thing. You and I must have the same affiliate. I also watched their Nova special after on animal empathy.

 

It is so fascinating that animals can form strong relationships even when reproduction is 0%. I am not stumping for bestiality, but it shows that relationship are far more complex than being a dump for genetic material or sexual interaction.

 

As I said, I am a proud supporter of pbs It also helps that i live half a mile from Boston headquarters.

I have three stations to choose from, WLVT (Leigh Valley, Allentown), NJTV (New Jersey), and WHYY (Phil/Wilmington). They all have their own programing schedule and sometimes two will air the same program at the same time.
