The incredible but true friendship between a disabled cow and a giant tortoise is melting the hearts of people worldwide.

 It is known that this image was shared by the Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand Rescue Center, which has amazed people around the world with the beauty of this animal friendship.

In 2013, a turtle named Leonardo was rescued from a zoo in Bangkok, Thailand. Meanwhile, in an unfortunate incident, Simon the cow was caught in the vine along with his mother and was quickly rescued and brought to this sanctuary.

As a result of the accident, Simon lost a part of his legs and has since become a disabled cow. The Rescue and Animal Care team gave him a prosthetic leg to help him walk.

WFFT planned to relocate the "three-legged cow" to another area, where two other cows were already living. However, during his stay, Simon befriended a large tortoise named Leonardo, and the two quickly became inseparable.

At the conservation center of the WFFT animal rescue center, a cross-species friendship quickly blossomed. It was there that Simon the disabled cow and Leonardo the giant tortoise met. Perhaps due to their shared struggles and circumstances, they became close friends.

Staff at the WFF center said the two animals were very close and they were always next to each other.
