best friends


The baby elephant, orphaned at six months old when his mother fell down a cliff, chased his new friend Albert until the sheep took refuge in a shelter -- for 12 hours.
But since then, the animals have been "inseparable," say observers, napping together, walking together, and even picking up habits: Albert (sheep) figured out how to eat thorny bushes by following Themba's (elephant) lead to avoid the spikes.
