You’ll Never Believe This Fascinating Inseparable Bond Between A Lion, A Tiger And A Bear. Just 3 Old Friends That Like To Hang Around Together. Really! No Photoshop Involved.

This unusual relationship between a lion, a tiger and a bear is not the product of Photoshop but just commonplace get-togethers that these three exotic animals enjoy daily since they have been living together in the Noah’s Ark Animal Sanctuary. Baloo the American Black Bear, Leo the African Lion, and Shere Khan the Bengal Tiger have all become permanent friends and have had an inseperable bond between them since they were all young cubs. Originally possesed illegally by drug dealers in Atlanta who had severely mistreated them, the three had all suffered from a traumatic upbringing but have been living happily together in Noah’s Ark since they were found by the Georgia police and taken to the sanctuary.

The three rather large animal friends regularly enjoy sleeping, eating, and playing all together in the common enclosure where they live and as a result of the trauma they went through as young cubs, have all developed a tight bond between them as well as an everlasting three-way friendship. Come take a look at these amazing photos of 3 good friends who just enjoy spending all of their time together – even though they are all quite different from each other. It personally reminds me of the well-known quote from the Calvin & Hobbes comic strip: “Things are never quite as scary when you’ve got a best friend.” Or even two.

“The trio, affectionately known as ‘the BLT’, eat, sleep and play together. They even seek out grooming from one another and are often seen head rubbing and licking one another.”

There is just something about seeing these animals interact with each other that is literally enchanting. Noah’s Ark indeed!
