Unusual friendship - they have been together for 13 years

Categories: Animals

Baloo, Leo and Shere Khan were discovered in the basement of a house in Atlanta, Georgia, during a raid on a drug den in 2001. After that, the animals, which were treated negligently by the previous owners, were placed under the care of a non-profit organization for helping wild animals called Noah's Ark. When the cubs were cured of their wounds and the consequences of malnutrition, they decided to separate them, but after the separation, all three suddenly began to behave somehow sluggishly, sadly, and ate practically nothing. Then they were again placed in the same enclosure. Now they live in a 1.01 hectare enclosure, through which a natural stream flows. They even have their own "country house" where the shaggy trio loves to pass the time. To date, this is the only known case when three large "top" predators of different species live so close to each other and so amicably. All three are males and about the same age. On June 21, Noah's Ark is throwing a real party in honor of their 13th birthday!
