The document is a collection of photographs and captions showing displays of affection and bonding between animals. Some of the photographs show swans remaining together for life and caring for offspring together, flamingos creating a heart shape with their bodies, seahorses forming lasting partnerships where the male carries offspring, and an African lion hugging and kissing the woman who rescued and cared for him when he was malnourished. The captions suggest various animals snuggling, missing each other, and discussing spending time together, implying love and companionship between animals.

1. When Valentine’s
Day arrives we all
think of human
love. Will and Guy
wonder if love
exists in the
animal kingdom.
We have some
rather beautiful
photographs to
share with you to
help you make up
your own minds
Give us a kiss

Both partners share in building their nest,
defending and incubating their eggs and caring
for their young.

his health
