Both animals were seen wandering everywhere together. They even went hunting together and shared the spoils of their forage.The bear and wolf were reported to have hung out together for at least ten days.
They also played together, which makes this odd pairing in nature even more strange.“No one can know exactly why or how the young wolf and bear became friends”Lassi states that he is honored to have been able to capture such a spectacle in nature. No scientific studies have been explored before as it pertains to the matter, as such cases are extremely in nature.
