A lion, tiger and bear cub have developed the most unlikely friendship at an animal shelter in Georgia in the United States.

Baloo the American black bear, Leo the African lion, and Shere Khan the Bengal tiger were rescued by police in the basement of an Atlanta home during a drug raid back in 2001. They were all less than one year old and wounded severely. The police later sent them to the Noah's Ark Animal Shelter in Georgia.

The Animal Shelter decided to keep these big animals because they're too injured to be released into the wild. Since then, the trio has lived together in the same enclosure for 15 years and become extremely affectionate with each other.
