Rescued giraffe formed friendship with orphaned elephant calf

They say love knows no bounds, and that is definitely true of an abandoned elephant and giraffe who have formed an adorable bond after being rescued in Nairobi, Daily Mail reported.

Baby giraffe Kiko was brought to a wildlife trust in the Nairobi National Park after being found helpless and alone by Kenya Wildlife Service, according to the report.

At one-month-old he was too small to sleep in the giraffe stable, but was instead housed next to the elephants, where he struck up an unlikely friendship with fellow orphan Loboito, a boisterous three-week-old calf.

Heart-warming footage captured in October shows the small giraffe frolicking and playing with his new found chum, who was brought in after being found alone and hungry in Samburu.
