A Lion, Tiger And Bear Get Along Well
inquisitr.com
Lions and tigers and bears — oh, my! — may live together in The Wizard of Oz, but in real life there is only one lion-tiger-bear trio living together in an enclosed space anywhere in the world. This is the story of Leo the lion, Shere Hkhan the Bengal tiger and Baloo the black bear. They have lived together at Noah’s Ark, a 250-acre Georgia sanctuary for neglected and abused animals since 2001.
Sadly, “neglected and abused” all-too-aptly describes the condition of these three beautiful and gentle animals when they were discovered, imprisoned in the basement of an Atlanta drug dealer, during a police raid. They were only cubs at the time and they were all in pretty bad shape.
All three suffered from multiple infections, malnutrition and parasites. But Baloo was suffering the most. The drug dealer put a harness around the bear cub’s neck, but never loosened it, even as Baloo grew bigger. When the police found him, the harness was digging so deeply into the bear cub’s flesh, that skin was actually growing around it. Once Noah’s Ark got ahold of him, Baloo required a complex surgical procedure to removed the harness.
When Baloo was in surgery, that was the only time since 2001 the three animals have not all been together. The lion and the tiger spent the whole time deeply worried about him, pacing and yowling until the bear returned.
