兔仔同豬仔都可以做朋友
A bit of a bunny couple: The unlikely friendship of the piglet and the giant rabbit
[size=1.2em]Pigs and rabbits have never been regarded as having the potential to be great mates.
[size=1.2em]Like the tortoise and the hare, the former enjoys a slower pace of life while the latter spends its time hopping from burrow to burrow.
[size=1.2em]One prefers foliage and a nose wriggle while the other appears to have no specific dietary requirements and expresses itself through a series of oinks.
[size=1.2em]So, as they snuggle up together, the friendship of piglet William and Charles the giant rabbit looks more like the pages of a Beatrix Potter story made real than pals saying hello.
[size=1.2em]The unlikely companions play together in the sunshine at their home on Pennywell Farm, in Buckfastleigh, Devon.
[size=1.2em]An odd couple, the duo got together after William had to be moved to a pen next to the rabbit hutch.
[size=1.2em]When they were let out for the day, William began following the large flop-eared rabbit, who is twice his size.
[size=1.2em]The pair became inseparable and now they even sleep together in the gardens and share food from the same bowl.
[size=1.2em]Chris Murray, co-owner of the tourist attraction, said: "To keep William the miniature pig happy, he is given time out on the grass.
[size=1.2em][size=1.2em]"When they are out, Charles heads for a quiet spot in the sun and William seeks him out and tries to play with him."
[size=1.2em]The mischievous piglet seems to have no fear of something so much bigger than him and helps himself to any food Charles has.
[size=1.2em]Chris adds: "William is far keener on the friendship than Charles, but Charles is tolerant, even when his food gets taken"
[size=1.2em]William will eventually grow to the size of a small dog, which is small for a pig. But he will be two or three times the size of Charles.
[size=1.2em]Valerie Bickford-Beers, who works on the farm and quickly snapped the pictures when she saw the creatures together, said: "They're so sweet together.
[size=1.2em]"I'm not a photographer but I wanted to share the pictures to make people smile.
