A formerly abused American black bear named Baloo, African lion named Leo, and Bengal tiger named Shere Khan are proving that even the most unlikely animals can form an inseparable bond.
“Baloo, Leo and Shere Khan eat, sleep, and play together and even seek out grooming and affection from one another, head rubbing and licking each another,” Noah’s Ark Animal Sanctuary wrote on their website. “Their terrifying early months in life bonded the three together and they are truly inseparable despite their obvious differences.”
Baloo, Shere Khan, and Leo were kept as illegal pets in a basement of an Atlanta home. They were found weak, frightened, and with infections during a police raid when they were just a few months old.
When they first arrived at Noah’s Ark, the team tried to separate the three, but they refused to eat and would cry until they were put together.
Today, the unbelievable trio are inseparable after the animal sanctuary was able to raise money to bring their enclosure up to code so they could stay together as a family.
