In 2011, a lonely duckling separated from its family at birth has been saved thanks to a mirror - which has become its only friend.

Seven-day-old Alice was taken to a rescue centre after being mauled by a gull at just one day old.

But the bird was in an agitated state and refused to eat because of the stress of being separated from its siblings.

So quick-thinking keepers installed a mirror which tricks Alice into thinking its reflection is actually another duckling.

Now it happily huddles up to the mirror for companionship - and even ‘talks’ to it.

Liz Dyas, of Devon Wildlife Visitor Centre, near Newton Abbot, Devon, said: “If we remove the mirror it goes absolutely crazy and squawks and complains until we put it back.

Nearly 20 years ago, a five-metre-long crocodile laid severely injured on the bank of the Parasmina River in Costa Rica after being shot by a farmer. Luckly for that crocodile, a kind local named Chito couldn’t bear to let him die. Chito rescued Pocho, as he called the croc, and nursed him back to health.

When Pocho had regained his strength, Chito took him back along the river to release him. But Pocho didn’t want to be left behind, and followed Chito home! With permission from the Minister for Environment and the help of a vet, Chito looked after Pocho for nearly two decades. Pocho passed away in 2011.
