A sweet trio of lion, tiger and bear refuse to part ways after 15 years Together

they are animals of different species and are not susceptible to being friends. However, at Noah's Ark Animal Sanctuary in Locust Grove, Georgia, a black American bear, an African lion and a cane tiger spent more than fifteen years living in perfect harmony! Shere Khan, the tiger, Leo, the lion, and Baloo, the bear. Their friendship started 15 years ago when NAAS rescued the three little babies. The poor babies were less than a year old when rescuers found them in tiny captivity in a basement. This happened during a drug raid in Atlanta - All three babies were exhausted and terrified. But Baloo's health was certainly the worst. The bear grew more than his cage, where he was tied with a harness. As Baloo grew, his captors did not loosen that harness, so his body literally grew around the belt! The animal had to be operated to close the various wounds it had. The three “brothers” were undergoing treatment - and this was the first and only time that they were separated. His injuries were considered extremely serious to be released into the wild. So, they were placed in an accommodation, and ever since, the happy trio has enjoyed each other's company! The lion, the tiger and the bear do everything together - they eat, sleep and, of course, play! They even kiss. They have different personalities, but are happy to be able to live as a family.
