For The Past 15 Years, The Bear, Lion, And Tiger Brothers Have Not Left Each Other’s Side

Here at Bored Panda, we’ve witnessed a lot of strange animal partnerships. Elephants and dogs. Cats and foxes are two of the most dangerous animals on the planet. Giraffes and ostriches, too. Nothing compares to witnessing these three unexpected pals – an American black bear, an African lion, and a Bengal tiger – coexist together. This unique friendship is difficult to beat.

Baloo the bear, Leo the lion, and Shere Khan the tiger have coexisted harmoniously at Noah’s Ark Animal Shelter in Georgia for the last 15 years. These beautiful creatures, known as the BLT, were recovered from the basement of a house in Atlanta during a police narcotics raid in 2001.

They were rescued from a horrific animal cruelty situation in which they were confined in the basement in deplorable conditions, and Baloo had surgery to remove an ingrowing harness that had not been adjusted as he grew. However, that was the only time the three closest friends were ever apart, and they’ve shared every joyful day since.
