For a while in the popular sitcom Friends, Joey and Chandler owned a chick and a duck, neither of which got the chance to meet Ross’s former pet, Marcel the monkey.

If ever you wanted to know how that theoretical narrative might have gone however, wonder no more – a four-year-old crested black macaque and a chicken have become pals, it seems, at a zoo in Israel.

The pair can be seen walking about together, generally having a nice time – Niv occasionally cradles the chicken, as well as grooming it, while zoo officials say the pair are inseparable.
