What do you get if you cross a potbellied pig and a Polish Hen?
如果你把一只大肚猪和一只波兰母鸡放在一起,会发生什么?
The best of friends, of course!
当然是最好的朋友!
Gilbert and Miss Coco have become a bit of an internet sensation after bonding at Wilmslow though Animal Sanctuary in Cheshire.
吉尔伯特和可可小姐在柴郡的威姆斯洛动物保护区结下了不解之缘,随后成为了网红。
"I haven't seen many pigs and chickens getting along the way that they do. We've had pigs and hens that are sort of coexist but not that snuggle and spend time like these two."
“我没见过多少只猪和鸡能像它们俩那样相处。我们之前的猪和母鸡可以共存,但不像这两只这样会依偎在一起共度时光。”
Miss Coco has tried to fit in with the other hens, but Gilbert is her BFF, maybe because of all the piggybacks he gives her.
可可小姐试图和其他母鸡混在一起,但吉尔伯特是她最好的朋友,也许是因为他总是背着她。
"We tried introducing her to our existing hens, and she just didn't want to know. She was not interested.
我们试着把她介绍给我们现有的母鸡,但她就是不想了解。她不感兴趣。
And then we found her in his field one day, she walked around and just made herself at home, and she's been here ever since."
后来有一天我们在吉尔伯特的领地里发现了她,她就像在家里一样走来走去,从那以后她就一直住在这里。”
Gilbert's big enough to carry Miss Coco around easily now, but his previous owners got him when he was much smaller.
吉尔伯特现在已经足够大了,可以轻松地带着可可小姐到处走,但吉尔伯特以前的主人养它的时候,它的体型要小得多。
"It's supposed to be a micropig. So he is a very small breed of pig, or a small mix, he's got pot belly in him."
“它应该是一只微型猪。所以他是一种很小的猪,或者是一种很小的杂交品种,他有一个大肚腩。”
After resting her feet, Miss Coco keeps Gilbert groomed.
可可小姐在休息完双脚后,会给吉尔伯特梳洗。
"It's quite a good social behavior for chickens to they kind of groom each other. So she does the same to him.
“对鸡来说,互相梳理毛发是一种很好的社会行为。所以她也对吉尔伯特做了同样的事。
She gets in all his little crevices and picks all his dead skin off and keeps him in good condition.
她钻进他所有的小裂缝,把他所有的死皮都扒掉,让他保持良好的状态。
She's just always with him everywhere he go. She's his little shadow."
他去哪儿她都会跟着。她就像是他的小影子。”
