Humans show affection to others in many different ways. Some people are partial to hugs and kisses while others prefer words of encouragement. Animals might not be as up front about these indicators of love and kindness, but they have other ways of showing their friends and family that they care.
Let’s take a look at how different animals show affection. Some of these actions are so cute they don’t even seem real!
Otters
Otters spend a lot of their time in pairs and they even hold hands with each other so they don’t float away. They don’t let go, even when sleeping! These little critters are even seen kissing and cleaning each other on a regular basis.
Elephants
Despite being massive, elephants are one of the most gentle and emotional animals out there. They show affection by wrapping their trunks around each other. So, you might even see some of them holding trunks. They use their trunk like a human hand, so they will often use it to stroke the head or ears of another elephant.
