Best Friends

Barbara Zimmerman, director of the Kayapo Project, sent these photos today, with a brief description of these odd, but apparently well suited best friends…..

I was recently in a Kayapo village where I noticed a cow and a collared peccary walking around together and generally part of village life. Apparently, this cow (from a nearby ranch) and peccary were raised together in the village and became inseparable. They leave on treks into the nearby forest and then reappear in the village weeks later – they don’t leave each other for a minute. The cow seems to be the leader……have no idea how the cow survives on the jungle treks but they seemed well fed and healthy.
