Bear, tiger and lion become affectionate friends

A bear, a tiger, and a lion rescued from a drug dealer when they were just a few months old have grown up together at a Georgia habitat and now act like loving members of the same family. The tiger, named Shere Khan, the American black bear, called Baloo, and Leo the African lion live peacefully together in a clubhouse, and often play and nuzzle each other affectionately. “They were raised together and don’t realize they’re separate species,” said Diane Smith of the Noah’s Ark Animal Rehabilitation Center. “They don’t realize they’re supposed to be enemies.”
