In KINDRED SPIRITS there are 50 true stories from around the world of unlikely animal bonds that seem to prove that animals are capable of feeling love and friendship. A young wild leopard makes its way into a small village in India every night, not to devour a farmer's cow but to fall asleep next to it. In a national park in Zimbabwe, a rhino, a warthog, and a hyena are raised together under one roof and act very much like siblings. Author Jennifer Holland has interviewed sources to verify each of the stories, which are accompanied by beautiful photographs.
