You don’t often see a grey wolf and a brown bear hanging out together in the wild. It sounds like something that came straight out of a fairytale. However, Finnish photographer Lassi Rautiainen saw it firsthand.
It wasn’t only a spur of the moment chance encounter, either. The lucky photographer managed to document the unlikely friendship over ten days in 2013.
He watched from afar as the pair did just about everything together, hunting as a team and then sharing their victories, even taking some time to play together in between feasting.
The photographer watched in awe as the duo met up every night before going out on the hunt.
Both were destined to be isolated hunters. Yet somehow, against all the odds, the two ended up joining forces and coming together.
Here is a video of the cute pair:
