Animal Lovers
« on: October 05, 2009, 07:11:55 PM »
My friend sent me this and I can't verify if it's true or not:

The fire in Santa Barbara, CA caused these two to take shelter together. The   fawn is 3 days old and the bobcat about 3 weeks.

The fawn came from somewhere in the fire and the bobcat from Carpenteria.

They immediately bonded and snuggled together under a desk in the Santa Barbara County Dispatch Office for several hours.

Animal Planet is reporting the bobcat kitten was rescued near Arnold Schwarzenegger's ranch, where it was dehydrated and
near death.
 
They rescued the fawn during last week's wildfire. Although wild   animals, especially of separate species, are never placed together
due to regulations, in this emergency situation, they had no choice.

During the mayhem of the fire, they were forced to put animals
anywhere they could since they had run out of crates large enough for the fawn. The kitten ran to the fawn and it was instant bonding.

Dontcha just love baby animals?

Actually, to me it doesn't matter if it's true...seeing two "natural" enemies finding comfort in each other is pretty kewl.

I'm broke and can't afford to pay attention, so you might have to lend me an ear.

I love animals, period.  But the pics of those infants is ADORABLE!  And I think that little Bobcat is making biscuits on the little deer.   o(:-)

They are adorable. The photos were on the Ellen DeGeneres show and are really from the recent fires in Santa Barbara.

Thanks LeeAnne for finding that out. I tried to check around but couldn't find anything. I hope they make it back to the wild someday :).
