Are these the ones that were found with, like, I think a bear too? They were being neglected and abused as three cubs and formed a tight trauma bond?

Edit: Here is a short news clip about the trio I'm referring to. They were rescued from a drug dealer in Atlanta and lived together at Noah's Ark sanctuary

Yeah this isn’t a normal interaction. Both the cats and the bear are like bros. They were all owned by a drug dealer and horribly neglected. The bear had a harness that he grew into, and had to have surgery to get it taken off.

Can you imagine if they were the example in the wild? Maybe us humans aren't really bound to each other either and it's just government trauma bonding us?

Inter-species trauma bonding has some really cute results.

Like Ligers - It's pretty much my favorite animal. It's like a lion and a tiger mixed... bred for its skills in magic.

Shere Khan, Simba, and Baloo are best of friends apparently

They were, but the Lion's name was Leo. He passed away in 2016, followed by the lion in 2018, and finally the Bear in May of last year. RIP.

The lion in the YouTube video there appears to be female though? I didn't see a mane anyway.

No, it was a male lion named Leo, and he did have a mane, albeit not a very thick one

A lion, a tiger and a bear?

Oh my!

My first thought was “where is Baloo?”

I think the duo in this post is different. The lions don't look alike and such tiger-lion bonding clips aren't that rare.

I've never heard of this...I love it! Thank you for the news clip, it was cute!

Locust Grove just sounds like a miserable place to live. Maybe it's really nice but it's a name like Lynchburg where I just don't know if I could ever live there.

It should be illegal to post cute shit like this just to get into the thread and hear some horrific shit led up to this.
