Millions of us watch clips of animals that normally wouldn't meet in the wild showing what looks like friendship, affection and even love towards one another. But what lies at the heart of these behaviours? Can science explain why these unusual partnerships happen? In Part 1 biologist Liz Bonnin goes on a worldwide journey of discovery to find out. In Part 2 Liz uncovers the reasons behind some of the most unexpected animal/human friendships. We love to keep animals as pets and for a human to want to befriend a lion or a polar bear is one thing, but why do these animals also form close relationships with us? The answer is surprising.

Followed by a Q&A with Clare Birks, CEO of Oxford Scientific Films.
