What I learned was that animals can have friendships with other species like us we can have friends and they can be totally different. Like when someone is left out and your so popular and they are not so popular you can be friends with the person and make a change to uh.. School or friends or something like that.

What these animals are showing us is kindness, love, and caring, if they can be friends can’t humans be better friends too? These animals are showing humans that they can be friends even if they are different in many ways. These animals are there for each other and it does not matter the size. Can humans be like this too? I think these animals are best friends because they were there for each other when they were needed most. The elephant and the dog proved that they were there for each other. Some humans are not even that nice to each other, and we can actually talk to each other. Humans can actually learn from these animals to be more like them. But still do not act like a monkey/chimpanzee. Humans can learn to be nicer to one another even if we have are differences. I obviously think we can learn a lot from these animals and we should.

These videos teach me that even if someone is different you can still be friends. We might be different but that doesn't matter because everybody is capable of having a friend that is not the same as you. Sometimes the things that make people different is one of their best qualities. Don’t let other people’s judgments affect you. People might say somebodys weird but you have to be kind and stick up for that person and get to know them for yourself. You can have a friend thats not like you at all but still love them.

I think all these couples are just adorable. One thing I learned was that it doesn’t matter the species of animal, but that actually any type of animals can be friends and even predator and prey can be friends. My favorite couple was the lioness and the antelope calf. Which brings me to the other thing I learned is that sometimes predator and prey can become friends if the predator had recently experienced the death of a family member it triggers a sense of love.

What can I learn from these animal friendships? I think I can learn that we shouldn't give up on our friends and that we should wait around like Tara, an elephant, did when Bella, a dog, got hurt.
We can also learn that any animals can become friends; so why can’t we?
So many different animals come together and become friends with other species like a Cat and Crow, an Elephant and Dog, a Dog and Orangutan, and a Hippo and Tortoise.

What I think these stories teach us is that it shouldn’t matter who you are or what you are or how “popular” you are, you should be kind to most people. It also kinda says that you shouldn’t discriminate, the most unlikely people you think could be best friends. It also shouldn’t matter your race or skin color or hair color. Like you could be a boy and have a friend thats a girl and people could make fun of you because of that. Overall what I think that these videos teach us that friendship, kindness, and love shouldn’t matter on your gender, race, skin color, we should just do what makes us happy.

I think that it is showing you that people can be friends with enbody it does not matter the size or color you can also try to be friends with people you get mad at some time anyone can by our friend no matter what . I also think that it is cool were there was like a place where there were dogs and elephants were bella and the elephant were best friends and it was sad when the elephant waited so long for the dog.

What I learned about the video is that you can be friends with anyone even if they are a lot different from you they can can be a monkey and a dog like in the book and will still be able to get along like the cat and the bird and they elephant and the dog none of them can live without each other this taught me that you can be friends with anyone even if they are different.
Now you see why you should get along with anyone, even if there are different.

From the videos for the blog I learned that all people and animals can be friends even if they are very different. It doesn't matter what race or species you are Because everyone is different. It thought it was cool that that lion took an Antelope calth and protected it like her own instead of eating it. I also learned that you should be kind to everyone, no matter how they look. I watched another video similar to the ones on the website. Here are some examples of animals caring for each other
monkey taking care of a baby cheetah
a bear and a tiger who were best friends
a baby deer licking a dogs face, a rhino running walking with a sheep
a capybara taking care of puppies
a wild cat adopted ducklings
A gizzelle and a girrafe
A dog and a cheetah

Something that i can learn about these videos is that you don't have to be the exact same to like, love or have a friend ship with some one that is why i love and like these videos.

What I think about the videos is that you don't need to be the exact same to be good friends and that everyone is different. The monkey and the dog are completely different but they are still best friends and they love to play together and do everything together so that is one of the many reasons why you don't need to be the same as another reason is that good friends can be completely different and have nothing in common all it needs to make a good friend is to be nice.

I learned that animals can be friends no matter what species it is. Just like how any of us can be friends if we look different. For example if someone is lonely just go hangout with them like for one day you can hangout with one group of friends then for the next you hangout with the other group. And if you keep doing that than you will have those friends for a long time. That's what I learned from those videos.

I think that these type of videos can teach us many lessons. One of the lessons that I noticed was that no matter how many differences you and someone might have there is always something you have in common. So these videos show that even people with only a couple things in common or people with only a couple similarities can make a great friend. These stories also teach us a lot about friendship, one of them being to let everyone have a chance and treat everyone the same and you never know it might work out. These stories also can teach us a lot about kindness or being kind. These videos can show lessons of kindness by seeing everyone the same like an elephant usually won't come up to a dog or if it does the dog will probably just run away but in this friendship they both let each other have a chance and not just walk or run off. As you can see these stories can teach us a lot about friendship,kindness or really anything like that.

I had a friend his name is Branden. He is 75% blind. He learned beryl. He loved going on swings with me every time because me and him like the wind blowing in our faces. He uses this lexicon devise to see stuff because he has bad eyesight and to see stuff on the whiteboard. Me and him played pace back with a basketball i did not throw hard so he could get the ball and so he can get better at it. Me and Branden run around playing tag with my other friends to.

Blog 6:

Animals show humans that if they make friends we can, for example an elephant and a dog are best friends and their two different species. Humans are almost the same so why can’t we do it when they can? More examples a monkey and a dog are friends a lion and a deer are friends a cheetah and another dog are friends. So why can’t we all be friends? Everyone is different and has their own unique talent, but that doesn’t mean we can’t all be friends. I think we should all treat each other the same. Two totally different animals get along so why can’t we get along?

Now you know what I learned from those two videos.

I can learn that no matter how different you are you can be friends. It it doesnt matter if your a boy and has a friend that is a girl your both alive. Think of it this way you have 2 puppies ones a girl and the other is a boy when there playing you can't just asoom that there girlfriend boyfriend. I think that no matter how different you are you can have friends.

The animal friendships show kindness because they are whole different types of animals and still friends, just like us we can have a friend that isn’t like us at all. It shows friendship because they have fun together, like us we have fun with our friends. It shows love because they are always right next to each other and that one is like us because with our family we are always right next to them. That is how I think these friendships show kindness, friendship, and love.

Friendship kindness and love are things you do, you say, and you ack. We can do that by the things you say to people, like thank you, or please. Friendship is very powerful, it takes courage to step up and say hello, or compliment about them. Love is with your actions; it can change people, it can give someone something. Powerful things come in your words and out your
mouth.


The animals in the video show if they can be friends so can we. The videos taught me that animals can be friends, which I didn’t know! This shows me that you can be friends with anybody. If animals can be friends with different species so can we.

I have learned that anyone can be friends. Even if you are a lion or a Terex you can be friends with anyone or any thing. One time I saw a you tube video (not the ones on the website) of two people becoming friends with a tiger. They loved the tiger but they had to set him free. One day they came to visit him. He was so happy that he came running. So no matter how big you are or how small, we can all be friends.

The videos can teach us lots of things like: The videos can teach us that all things can love each other. It also can teach us that even if we are different people or different species we all can get along with each other, and that even enemies can be our friends if you get to know them. So I think the best way to sum it all up is that all things can love each other, we just might not have thought about it.

After watching the videos The Animal Odd Couple and Unlikely Animal Pairs Defy Laws of Nature, one of the things that struck me the most was: If animals can look past giant differences and still be best friends, like an elephant and a dog or a lion and an antelope calf, why can’t humans look past little differences, like different personalities?

There are a lot of videos and a lot of stories that talk about how people are unkind or even cruel to each other because of differences, and most of them are differences that the other person can't control, like having autism or a different skin color or wearing glasses. I really enjoy watching videos that show any creature setting aside physical differences and just enjoying being friends.

I think we could all learn something from these animals. It doesn’t matter who we are on the outside, we can still be great friends and be there for each other.

I love the fact that these animals are breaking the laws of their culture and being friends with one another. What it all comes down to is kindness. I saw that some of the friends were dogs. Dogs are known for being very friendly so I wasn’t surprised that 2/4 pairs were dogs. So if I could take a lesson from this, I would say that what people (or animals) say, like “You can’t be friends with them….”, don’t listen to them and do what makes you feel good and happy.

The stories we saw can teach us that even if we are different we should all get along. They also teach us that our differences don’t matter and if these animals that are totally different can get along then why can’t humans get along? Another lesson these stories can teach us is that it doesn’t matter what size you are or the color you are because as long as you love each other your differences shouldn’t keep you guys apart. As you can see, your differences shouldn’t keep you from loving someone or having a great friendship with them.

People think that a huge animal can be friends with a small one like take the elephant and the dog they were such good friends even though one of them could crush It with Its own foot. But that Is were the trust comes In you have to trust someone and If you don’t then you really friends like you think you are. People can be really mean to others just how they look like for example what if a girl with brown hair was best friends with a red head a lot of the time’s people would say that you have to be friends with someone who is the same color as you or the same culture as you. Say that you didn’t have the same color skin as someone then the law was that you can’t be there friends there were too different schools for different color people but then you just have to look at these animals and how these differences make them better friends as long as there happy. People are just so jugey if things aren’t the way they want them to be but just be yourself who cares what people think about you or who you can be friends with. Be the person you want to be.

At first when I watched the videos they were so cute and different. Why I think it was different was that a lion and a lamb where friends but it was also cute because they slept together and walked together and loved each other. Also my favorite animal friends where the elephants and the dog. When the dog got hurt and couldn't move her legs and tail the elephant waited right by the gate next to the building the dog was in, and the person took the dog out every once and a while to see the elephant. If super uncommon animals can be friends why can't humans. I wonder if all animals could be friends it would be like.

The video about how two different types of animals can get along and can teach us about friendship. When the elephant and the dog were separated it made them both worried about each other and care about each other. When they talk about friendship I saw that the elephant and the dog never left each other, they stayed side by side. The love between the animals is that instead of hurting each other, they helped each other. Another video I saw was about how a lion and a lamb became friends.The lamb was by himself and the lion cared about it and helped it. The thing I liked about was that even though they are predator and prey they still cared about each other. The thing about this is it could help us all by instead of being mean we can be nice to each other.

The videos about weird animal relationships tell me that really you can be friends with anyone, no matter what or who. The cute animals are a great example for saying this. The animals are teaching us a lesson about that and that’s amazing to me. That’s amazing how any animal with any animal can get along and become best friends. No there is no excuse to not be friends with that person or animal. The video is cute and inspiring. I love that video because it taught me a good lesson.

I think that it tells us that whoever you are you can still be friends with somebody and that if you are a animal,whatever animal you are, it doesn't matter what kind of animal you are,you can still be friends with other animal even though they are different animal you can still be friends.

I think that different animal can be friends because different animals have the same hearts and it is not that different animals can't be friends but different animal can be friends like if you look at the picture in blog #6 it is a picture of a dog and a monkey. Thats why I think that different animal can be friends.

What I learned about this video is that you can be friends with anyone even if they look a lot different from you,like lots of kids get bullied because of the way they look but if you actually knew how they act like they could be really nice and fun to hangout with.
