Call them the odd couples. A pair of month-old Sumatran tiger twins have become inseparable playmates with a set of young orangutans, an unthinkable match in their natural jungle habitat in Indonesia's tropical rainforests.The friendship between 5-month-old female baby primates Nia and Irma, and cubs Dema and Manis, has blossomed at the Taman Safari zoo where they share a room in the nursery.
After being abandoned by their mothers shortly after birth, the four play fight, nipping and teasing each other, and cuddling up for a shared nap when they are worn out.

Tracey: Thanks for such a cool post.
It reminds me a little of the story of "Owen & Mzee". Owen is the sunami orphane Rhino baby who mistook a Giant Turtle for his mother. It's a wonderful metaphor of finding what you need to get through a horrible experience in the place you least expect.
