The Adorable Friendship Between This Abandoned Baby Elephant And Ostrich Will Make You Cry

One of the most heartwarming things in this world must be the friendship between species. This beautiful bond comes in all shapes and sizes and can beat all the odds in this life. We’ve seen the stories of tigers making friends with goats they were given to as living food. Or, a baby elephant becomes lifelong friends with a giraffe. Or, even a baby monkey makes friends with a wild lion. These adorable and selfless bonds make this world a much better place. And we, humans, should learn from these incredible friendships.

Today, we’re going to talk about the story of the special bond between an orphaned baby elephant and an ostrich. We believe it can even melt the coldest hearts and sends joyful vibes to everyone. If you are looking for something wholesome during these depressing days, just let this help.

The two unusual friends are Jotto the baby elephant and Pea the ostrich. Jotto was rescued when he was just a one-month-old baby. The unfortunate calf fell into the well, so he got separated from his herd. Fortunately, he was found by David Shelldrick Wildlife Trust (DSWT) and was later brought to an elephant orphanage in Kenya.

That was where the orphaned baby met Pea, a friendly and loving ostrich rescued with her brother in 2014. Her brother was then released back into the wild, but the poor girl still stayed at the orphanage as she started to see herself as a part of the elephant herd.

They immediately became friends. They found love and comfort while cuddling each other. Both enjoy this act of cuddling very much, and they helped each other overcome the loss of their mothers.

“You can say the orphaned ostrich Pea absolutely believes she is a member of the elephant herd and baby Jotto is more than happy to enjoy a cuddle with his feathered friend,” DSWT stated. Friendship has no limitations. Even though the pair may separate one day in the future, at least for the moment, they are enjoying happy and cozy days together. Is there anything more valuable than having a friend who helps us overcome the rough days of our life?
