    A male Rhesus Macaque walking along a stone wall. In Wintertime food is harder to come by out in nature, so the macaque is drawn to cities, where it can find an abundance of resources accumulated by humans—food and water, and even the shelter of abandoned buildings. This image is from Animals Gone Wild.

    Winston, Ore.: Pancake, a cheetah, rests in the shade with her best friend Dayo, a Rhodesian Ridgeback. Unable to nurse at birth, Pancake was hand-raised by Carnivore Supervisor Sarah Roy at Wildlife Safari in Oregon. But Pancake still needed a four-legged companion to learn social behaviour from. Wildlife Safari selected Dayo who was born on the same day as the cheetah. Now these two are inseparable. The unlikely couple plays, nuzzles and even sleeps next to each other.
