No fighting like cat and dog
A lion and a dachshund have become internet sensations after footage of the pair together was posted to the video sharing website, YouTube.
Joe Schreibvogel, the entertainment director at Garold Wayne Interactive Zoological Park in the US state of Oklahoma, took the lion home with him as a cub, after it was diagnosed with a rare bone disease.
Bonedigger, who is mildly disabled as a result of his condition, grew up alongside Mr Schreibvogel's litter of dachshund puppies – only to form a particularly close friendship with one named Milo.
Five years later, the 36 stone (500 pound) lion and pack of dachshunds now live together at the zoo, after a recent tornado struck the area and it became a refuge for both domestic and exotic animals.
Bonedigger and Milo can still be seen enjoying each other's company in the enclosure, as the footage shows!

With Strangles Awareness Week just around the corner (5-11 May), vets are being encouraged to share a survey about the disease with their horse-owning clients.
