| The Macaque and the Dove |
'On an island off the coast of China, a little macaque nestles its head on a dove. Three months before, after the macaque had strayed from its mother, it was found and taken in by the staff of an animal protection centre. It soon became friends with the white dove, which had also been adopted by centre staff. For two months they ate together and slept together, before both were released back into the wild.' from the Guardian, 3 Feb 2012.
The picture above is the most heartwarming thing I have seen in a while, it reminded me of how amazing all creatures are. How silly it seems that we so often claim emotions, intelligence and feelings as limited to our own human experience!
