photographer Lassi Rautiainen captured an unlikely duo in the wilderness of Kuhmo, Finland. Over ten days, he documented the extraordinary bond between a bear and a wolf. Typically, wildlife species stick with their own kind for hunting, mating, and territorial protection. Bears are usually solitary, while wolves live in packs, making this friendship particularly unusual. Though the exact reason for their bond is unclear, Rautiainen’s photographs show the bear and wolf playing, feeding, and resting together, highlighting the comfort and security they find in each other.
