Lion cub and baby monkey are the best of friends

We’ve seen odd couples in the animal kingdom before, like this sloth and cat, but the strangest yet could be this loveable lion cub and baby monkey who have forged an unlikely relationship.

The two young animals became friends after they were forced to be hand-fed by staff together because their parents didn’t have enough breast milk.

After spending time with one another, the cub, which is 34-days-old and the monkey, born just over two weeks ago, have become the best of friends.

They were snapped enjoying each other’s company at the Guaipo Manchurian Tiger Park in Shenyang, China.

The small primate felt comfortable enough to lie on the lion’s back and the two were also pictured rolling about on the grass together.

We’re not too sure how long this relationship is going to last because the lion will get much bigger and intimidating.

But for the moment, let’s just all sit back and enjoy this heart-warming friendship.
