Cheetahs are inherently very nervous animals. If a cheetah gets too anxious, they become too stressed to breed, which is concerning as they are already going extinct.
In order to prevent their extinction, some zoos will pair each cheetah cub with their own emotional support dog.

White moose
The white moose’s colouration is a result of a recessive gene which causes the animal to grow white fur, known as piebaldism. Unlike albinism, the animal only loses pigment in its fur and does not lose the colour of its eyes. This white moose was spotted near Värmland in Sweden.

In this bizarre but common mixed-species friendship, the dog is often the dominant one and guides the feline. Dogs have a calming influence and the cheetah will take behavioral cues from the dog learning not to fear its surroundings, whilst at the same time becoming best friends.

Raccoons that live in urban environments are exposed to a wider range of man-made obstacles, such as opening bins with complex lids. This has resulted in more clever and cunning raccoons who are bolder and more adapted. These raccoons have eaten too much and need a helping hand.
