Baloo the bear (1000 pounds), Leo the Lion (350 pounds) and Shere Khan the tiger (350 pounds) have the most unusual and unlikely friendship between them.

They were rescued eight years ago during a police drugs raid in Atlanta, Georgia. The three friends were only cubs at the time and were kept by drug barons.

After the rescue they were sent to the Noah’s Ark animal rescue centre in Locust Grove, Georgia, and it was decided to keep the animals together.
