There was the story about an unusual dog and duck friendship (https://ca.news.yahoo.com/blogs/good-news/odd-couple-dog-duck-unlikely-best-friends-163012741.html), and the story of Love Bug the kangaroo (https://ca.news.yahoo.com/blogs/good-news/puppy-love-kangaroo-kisses-canine-friend-162514710.html) and his best friend, Dozer the dog. And who can forget the story of Mr. G the depressed goat who perked up only when he was reunited (https://ca.news.yahoo.com/blogs/good-news/mourning-goat-reunited-best-friend-ends-hunger-strike-163550205.html) with his donkey pal, Jellybean?
Now out of Russia, an unusual friendship between a calico cat and a lynx.

According to KFOR (http://kfor.com/2014/06/18/watch-a-stray-cat-makes-its-way-into-the-st-petersburg-zoo-and-you-wont-guess-what-happens-next/), the calico was just a stray looking for something to eat when she wandered into a lynx enclosure at the St. Petersburg Zoo in St. Petersburg, Russia.
Instead of attacking the intruder, the lynx took a liking to the little stray ... and they've been inseparable ever since.

The zoo has since adopted the little feline, who appears quite smitten with the lynx.
It just goes to show that friendships come in all shapes and sizes.
