Here is a truly inspirational story of three unlikely best friends that reside at Noah’s Ark, a wild-animal rescue center in Georgia. Together they make an nontraditional “BLT.”
In a small pen, Baloo (an American black bear), Leo (the lion) and Shere Kahn (a Bengal tiger) cuddle, play ball, chase each other around, eat cookies daily and seem to have forged a friendship for life.
The three predators were rescued as cubs 12 years ago from drug dealers who’d abused and neglected them.
“All of them had issues,” Hedgecoth said. “Leo, the lion, had a big raw spot on his nose. Baloo, the bear, had an ingrown harness where his owners hadn’t lengthened it as he grew, so it actually grew into the skin and it had to be surgically removed. … They have recovered more than 100 percent.”
Trainers tried separating them at first but they acted out. They waited for fights to break out between them but there was nothing.
There are 3 main reasons as to why there is no aggression between them:
1.They have all been neutered.
2.They have never had to compete for food.
3.They have never had to compete for females.
2.They have never had to compete for food.

Check out this video to see more about their story and to watch them interact together. This is definitely a very special and unique situation that is extraordinary to see.
