Unusual Animal Friendships That Will Give You All the Feels - Page 4 of 8

Baloo the Bear, Shere Khan the Tiger, and Leo the Lion

This story of friendship is truly one that you could say is “one for the books”—pun totally intended. In Rudyard Kipling’s classic novel The Jungle Book, the characters of Shere Khan and Baloo are totally at each other’s throats. That’s far from the case, however, with their real-life counterparts who, along with a lion named Leo, have a close and special bond due to their time together being under the care of an abusive drug dealer. They were rescued and are now under the care of the Noah’s Ark Animal Sanctuary, where the trio live happily together.
