Unlikely Friendships Calendar: A Celebration of Remarkable Friendships in the Animal Kingdom

Unlikely Friendships is the irresistible calendar based on Jennifer Holland’s New York Times bestselling book with over 260,000 copies in print. Celebrating extraordinary bonds formed by members of different species, the calendar offers a fascinating glimpse into the emotional lives of animals both domestic and wild. Every month’s true account of interspecies companionship is documented in amazing full-color photographs and text describing the backstory of the unusual pairing. A chimp mothers tiger cubs. A polar bear befriends a sled dog. An ostrich and a giraffe form a special bond. A fox and a hound become inseparable friends in a real-life version of the classic story. For animal lovers, it’s a year of beauty and wonder.

Jennifer Holland is a senior writer for National Geographic magazine, specializing in science and natural history. She lives in Silver Spring, Maryland, with her husband, two dogs, and dozens of snakes and geckos; none of whom, to her dismay, have crossed the species barrier to befriend the others.
