Lions And Tigers and Bears! Oh My!

In 2001, a lion, tiger and bear cub, kept as status symbol pets by drug barons, were rescued during a raid by police. The cubs, each approximately two months old, were delivered to the Noah's Ark Animal Rescue Center in Locust Grove, Georgia.

Ever since their rescue, the lion, tiger and bear, aptly named Leo, Shere Khan, and Baloo, have been living together as best friends!

Zoo representatives say that the 1,000 pound bear and the 350 pound lion and tiger are totally oblivious to the fact that in any other circumstance they would not be friends.

"Baloo and Shere Khan are very close. That is because they rise early, as Leo being a lion likes to spend most the day sleeping. When Leo wakes up the three of them mess around for most of the day before they settle down to some food."
Check out the amazing pictures and video of the unlikely friends....
