The Wilderness Live

Tales of human and animal companionship dates back in history for as long as one can remember. In medieval times, it was a very uncommon phenomenon to gift a king an exotic animal. While it was looked at as a fancy gift, the problem was more about a lack of understanding of what that creature was. And no matter how pampered and loved your companion would have been, this very lack of awareness would lead to its demise. However, that doesn't change the fact that these animals were infact loved. We bring to you the welcoming moments of King Hendry's elephant in 1212.

Tales of Human and Animal companionship is as old a tale as history. While we love animals and some even find their soulmates in them, here are some extra-ordinary stories of emperors and animals that date as back as 1090 AD. This episode is all about a Roman emperor who went down in history as one of the most cruel leaders and but also went down in history for his absolutely unconditional love for his horse and the tragic end it met with. So Welcome back to The Wilderness Live's series: Tales of Companions.

Also please excuse us if we pronounced something in the native language wrong!

These stories are almost dated back to 1090 AD to the times of the ancient rulers. The rulers may have been less than admirable but their dedication to their beloved companions were incomparable to anything we have seen in the modern times. They did not love them because it gave them an edge with a political alliance, they loved them because they can.
