Seeing an animal make a friend is probably the best thing in the world. Whether it's a dog meeting another dog, a cat finally deciding they will tolerate another animal in the house, or any unlikely combination you can imagine is always perfection.

It's especially wonderful when animals who wouldn't normally ever meet are finally brought face to face. The reactions they have are absolutely adorable.

Chendra the elephant gets to go on walks around the zoo sometimes, and on one particular trip she got to visit the sea lions. Brace yourself, it's pretty adorable. 6l1u24
