We have seen many reports of unlikely animal pairs. A hippo named Owen and a tortoise named Mzee are attached with each other, presenting an odd match. They even have their own website and books talking about their friendship. As well as others like Suriya and Roscoe (orangutan and dog) that has grown much familiarity on YouTube. But are these odd couples something people want to be real or are they a legitimate pair? “They are often the real deal.”, claims animal behaviorist John Wright.
