SHANGRALA'S
THE
COW
AND
TORTOISE!
Meet Leonardo and his friend Simon. Leonardo the African spurred turtle was rescued from a Bangkok zoo, while Simon the cow
came after getting his leg seriously injured. The poor cow was with his mom when he
got caught in the vines. He lost part of one of his hind legs due to the accident,
and the rescue center - Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand (WFFT) got him a
prosthetic to help him walk...
"We decided to house him temporarily in a large open field enclosure within the WFFT Rescue Center where he could recover from his ordeal," WFFT wrote. "We had then planned to move him into a field where we house two other rescued cows." But then the unlikely thing happened - the baby cow met the giant tortoise and they became best friends. "To the surprise of us all Simon the cow has formed a strong bond with the large tortoise Leonardo," WFFT writes. Staff says that the two are inseparable: "They are often seen following each other around, sharing meals and resting together. We hope this unusual friendship continues to flourish." |
This is a real story that shows our differences don't matter much when we need the comfort of another. We could all learn a lesson from these two creatures of God... |
