Meet the adorable BFFs of the animal kingdom!

Adapted from the New York Times bestselling series, gorgeous, full-color photographs capture candid moments of inter-species camaraderie, and are accompanied by the sweet, true stories behind them.

There’s Gerald, a giraffe, and Zebedee, a zebra, who met in the zoo and have been happy playmates ever since. Minnie, an African pygmy hedgehog, and Maya the Dachshund, who love to snuggle and share food together in their owner’s home.

And a pack of squirrel monkeys catch a ride on the back of their capybara friend—in fact, this clique is known to eat, groom, and play together frequently!
