Lassi Rautiainen is the Finnish photographer who witnessed the unlikely friendship between a bear and a wolf. He says:“It’s very unusual to see a bear and a wolf getting on like this”. The surprising pictures were taken of the two wild animals every night for ten days straight, spending several hours together between 8pm and 4am, the female grey wolf and male brown bear would even share their food with each other.
“No-one can know exactly why or how the young wolf and bear became friends,” Lassi told the Daily Mail. “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.”
