Awh-moment of the day: this friendship between little monkeys and otters

Some things you simply cannot keep from each other. For example, when the new season of La Casa de Papel is online (April 3), what the best wine is to spend your days in quarantine (this one) but also: the uh, important animal news. Because honestly, we will share everything. In Belgium, at the Pairi Daiza zoo, orangutans are receiving high-profile visitors from a couple of otters. And what turns out? The families get along excellently. ‘This kind of experiments where animals are stimulated by letting species coexist, leads to a higher quality of life,’ writes a spokesperson for the zoo on Twitter. The photos shared by the zoo immediately make -and rightly so- the world press. They have already been shared by CNN, The Sun, and Daily Mail. Ahugusss.

The largest newspaper across the Channel is fascinated by the friendship between our orangutans and the otters in their enclosure.
