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....

Invisible Cage

Have you seen the recent news article about the new exhibit at the Werribee Range Zoo in Melbourne, Australia?


Zoo visitors sit in the jeep and meat is tossed onto the hood.....


The lion jumps on the hood to get his meal....


Right in front of the visitors.....


The hood is separated from the rest of the jeep by reinforced glass.... They call it an invisible cage. So.... Are the lions in the invisible cage? Or are the visitors really the ones trapped in an invisible cage..... Deep thoughts.
