Finnish photographer Lassi Rautiainen captured the amazing sight of a female grey wolf and a male brown bear — being friends! The unlikely friendship was documented over the course of ten days and it’s definitely a rare sight! .
The duo was captured going everywhere together, hunting as a team, playing and even sharing their food.

“It’s very unusual to see a bear and a wolf getting on like this” Finnish photographer Lassi Rautiainen, told the Daily Mail. “From what I could find, it’s actually the first time, at least in Europe, where such a friendship was developed.”
“No-one can know exactly why or how the young wolf and bear became friends,” Lassi continued. “I think that perhaps they were both alone and they were young and a bit unsure of how to survive alone…It is nice to share rare events in the wild that you would never expect to see.”
It definitely looks like they feel safe together! And a little play time never hurts either!
All of this was captured in the wilderness of northern Finland.
Their friendship really does look like something straight out of a Disney movie!
Each evening after a hard of hunting the pair shared a convivial deer carcass meal together at the dusk.
“No one can know exactly why or how the young wolf and bear became friends,” said Lassi. “I think that perhaps they were both alone and they were young and a bit unsure of how to survive alone”.
How cool is this? Love it!!!!!
