More info: Noah’s Ark Animal Sanctuary
The Wizard of Oz’s famous remark, “Lions and tigers and bears, Oh My!” has always caused us to be afraid of these fierce animals. However, a touching tale from Georgia’s Noah’s Ark Animal Sanctuary alters that impression. This post will explore the fantastic 15-year relationship between a lion, tiger, and bear.
About 15 years ago, police conducted a raid at the residence of a narcotics dealer, and what they found inside shocked them. They discovered several animals, including lion, tiger, and bear cubs. It quickly became apparent that the cubs valued each other’s company. When they were taken to the zoo, they could not bear to be separated because they had grown up and played together.

Noah’s Ark Animal Sanctuary in Georgia created a new, more extensive habitat for the trio, including a river that cost over $15,000 to build. This was necessary because they had never known life without each other, and their love for one another was palpable. Visitors can observe the exhibit and watch how the animals interact with each other. They all sleep in a custom-made home and usually wake up together. They also love to sunbathe on the porch, which is incredibly endearing.
