We're the beast of friends!

Meet the animal world's most unlikely chums...

Orangutan Hanama
Nanny: Orangutan Hanama keeps his two feline charges in line
A baby tucked lovingly under each arm, this orangutan looks every bit the doting father. The unusual relationship between a giant ape and two little lions, reported in the Mail last week, was formed when the one-year-old cubs were taken from their parents at birth to keep them safe. Instead, uncle Hanama, a three-year-old fellow resident of South Carolina's Myrtle Beach Safari, stepped in as a babysitter. A one-off? It seems not. Here are our favourite bizarre - but adorable furry friendships.
