Unusual Friends

Ten-month-old J.J. nurses her two kittens and a 2-week-old Raccoon on Monday, April 2, 2012, at Jonesboro Animal Control in Jonesboro, Arkansas. J.J. came to the facility on Friday. The same day an Animal Control officer rescued a baby raccoon and was having a hard time getting it to eat. They put it next to J.J. and she immediately started nursing and cleaning it. Animal Control supervisor Larry Rogers said they have been calling the raccoon Bandit. “We were having to feed him around the clock every two hours and had to clean him up, now the momma cat does everything,” Rogers said. Animal Control volunteer Nicole Costner feeds baby possums behind the cage.

This baby crocodile seemed to have mistaken a giant hippo for a rock, lying across it to bask in the sun. Even when the hippo began to move, the young crocodile didn’t get the hint and remained in position. The three ton beast apparently didn’t seem bothered by the reptile on its back, and gave it 15-minute piggy back ride in the Kruger National Park, South Africa.
