Bear: “The Tiger’s My Friend!”
I saw this video on Facebook today, and thought that I should share it with my blog readers.
In Georgia, there is a wild animal rescue center called Noah’s Ark. The sanctuary was created to provide a home for abused, unwanted, and orphaned children and animals. How beautiful…
Noah’s Ark has been on global news lately, as 3 of their rescued wild animals have become best friends. It doesn’t seem very interesting at first, until you watch the video and realize that the 3 bestfriends are an American black bear, a lion and a Bengal tiger! They all play, eat and cuddle together in the same pen!
The 3 different animals were rescued 12 years ago, when they were just little cubs. They were abused and neglected by drug dealers. When they were rescued by Noah’s Ark, each had gone through very bad physical experiences… The bear had grown into his harness, and it was so deeply embedded into his skin that it had to be surgically removed!
Leo (the lion) Baloo (the bear) and Shere Kahn (the tiger), have become to close that when the trainers try to separate them, they would all act out. They are only happy when they are together hehe
Do take a look at the video below!

Amazing the watch the video. Have never thought 3 huge and supposedly wild animals can live together and so closely. They give me a feeling of a family living together and taking care of each other. Hope this will awake all people not to abuse animals as they are just like human, they have feelings.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this article.
Amazing ….3 different animals lion,tiger and bear happily living together.Such a harmoneous combination can play,eat and cuddle together in the same area.It shows that animals do have feelings too.They were little cubs when rescued as they were abused, neglected by drug dealers.Since then they become best friends.A good lesson for us to learn ,we can live happyly as a big family when we are caring,loving kind and respect each other .
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing.
What a beautiful story of 2 tigers and a bear who became friends. This is another proof that animals have feeling too. They want to live in peace and be happy. It is their circumstances that make them fierce, for survival purposes.
I sincerely wish that humans and animals can treat each other with respect and kindly. One of the ways to do so is to be vegetarian and reduce the use of animal products. Or if you have resources to do so, do adopt neglected animals/ strays and treat them well. The world will become a much beautiful place when this happens.
Dear Rinpoche,
This is really interesting, showing that friendship really knows no bounds. 🙂
They must have had a deep karmic connection in a past life. And to be able to still be together now, the connection must really be strong. 🙂 We should all be like them, actually. We should all be friends, despite being a different race, religion or skin colour. I hope that Noah’s Ark is still functonal today and will be for a very long time.
Your humble student,
Keng Hwa.
This is so heartwarming, i’m amazed that two of the most dangerous species can get along so well, they are like a family, best friends. Sometimes we really need to learn from them, they are able to teach us the values of life through their small actions. Thank You for sharing Rinpoche.
This is extremely cute. Three different species of animals can bond so well together whereas just the one species of human beings can have so many fights and disagreements between one another. Why is the human mind so complicated? What is the core to which the problems arise from?
Anyways, nice to see three great predators showing the way to co-existing in a peaceful and happy manner
This is so awesome and very interesting.
Thank you for sharing this story.
It is great how these animals can look past their differences and just love and care for each other.
This story is just amazing. It made me think why sometimes the human beings cannot be like them. Look pass the differences that we may have and be good friends, caring and loving each other.
I believe that if all of us are able to do that, there will be lesser fights, wars, or even troubles around our lives.
Oh my.. how sweet they are, living together harmoniously. Animal may be simple minded, they live on their instinct, but animal also know what’s best to be with, when they find the place comfortable, when they felt your sincerity, they will be loyal to you no matter what, there is not a single chance that they will change their mind or betray you.
Whereas compare to human, mind games, fighting each other to gain self benefit, betraying best friend to climb higher, and even to the extend of killing the people around them to treat their jealousy or hatred. If Human can learn from animal to be in harmony, this world will be such beautiful.
It amazing this article is so nice.It goes to show that even animals of different species can come together and be friends.What a really nice and heart tuching story.
Three of some of the most violently portrayed animals in the animal kingdom are capable of living together and showing love for each other. It goes to show that environmental influences can really affect any living sentient being. Its so cool to see the three of them living together and being unable to live without each other. They really show close connection with each other. Its said to learn from this story that humans are the bad guys when we are considered to me civilized that these animals show more compassion than the drug dealers. I’m glad that the bear, tiger and lion are in good health and are happy. Good job to these guys who rescued them. I hope people who watch this video or read this article would learn from it to treat animals better and that even the most wildest violent of ‘beast’ can still live amongst each other in harmony and take care of each other, when we who are considered more civilized should act only better. Thank you for sharing this article Rinpoche.
不同种类的动物都能和睦相处，为何我们人类不能呢？
This is such a warm hearted video and post hehehe…how sweet that 3 different fierce animals become good friend. Lovely and amazing!!! It shows that they are no differences from Human besides on form.
Thank you for this beautiful post Rinpoche 🙂 Its really made my day! 🙂
So touched to see an animals get along together, the world is peace when everyone get along together.
Thank You Rinpoche for the heartwarming story.

It’s a lovely video of how animals care, love and understand each other. It goes against the norms where in its regular habitat it would pounce and eat for survival.
A loving, caring and understanding environment yields a life full of harmony and kindness. A good example for the world to follow suit.
omigawd! I think I would prolly eat up my siblings in a fight more than the three of them! These animals must have had relied on each other for a very long time for survival to be so close with each other. This is really amazing!
This video makes my day and I will certainly be returning here again and again to watch it….to remind myself that no matter what differences I encounter each other and the hostility, inhumane, cruel, selfish and all forms of negativities experienced can be overcome.
Even fierce predators can put aside their natural instincts to be violent. I do think also that the environment plays a very big part in fostering this gentle nature in them.
I wish and pray that everyone have a conducive environment to bring about the good in you.
This is really an awesome and heartwarming video, it’s amazing to see them messing around with each other. It is a really wonderful and unbelievable friendships they have there. The most awesome thing is that, they are wild animals and they are living happily among themselves. It’s a great thing to see..
Thank You for sharing Rinpoche.
Oh my gawwwd… this is so unbelievably sweeet and cuteeee! Now if anyone who dares say that animals do not feel… they really need to be re-educated and be given video like this to watch!
This is really amazing how 3 different killer animals can literally become friends and show so much close affection to each other more than some of us humans could. Some of us cannot even get along with each other for a day!
Again here we see nature showing is what is love and compassion and that harmony with all sentient being can exist if we wanted it to happen! I truly hope our KAS (Kechara Animal Sanctuary) can manifest quickly with sponsors who are will to help us obtain a land.
Wow! Love this post! The 3 animals are awesome together! Although they were abused when they were young yet they learned to grow up and live with each other. Not only that, they have grown to love each other as well. I am happy that they are safe, well and enjoying each other’s company! Thank you Noah’s Ark for saving and taking care of them.
This is amazing because it is so nice to know that these people save many animals and that three of their animals are best friends and that are so deadly to humans and themselves! They have come through so painful pasts and yet so nice to each other, wow. I hope that they save many more animals in the future and make many more abused animals happy.
Awwwww.. too cute! Love truly knows no bounds! Such a heart warming friendship. I would like to adopt them as pets! hehe. I’d name them Kitty, Kat, and Pooh! =D
Jokes aside, I really applaud Noah’s Ark for starting something so wonderful which benefits so many others. Orphans and animals.. beautiful!
and when KFR is complete, we would have our very own ‘Noah’s Ark’ too! 😉
Thank you for sharing, Rinpoche. I love the video!
Three of the rescued wild animals, the american black bear, a lion and a bengal tiger, were put together for 12 years in Georgia wild animal rescued centre to play, eat and cuddle together in some pen, and today they have become best of friends! They have learned to live with sympathy, love and compassion for each other under close supervision, without exception. They have now developed an open-heart, truly loving and compassionate to each other. This geniune feeling for the well-being of each other, is in fact a neccessity goal for every living being through-out the universe to achieve for the peace and happiness for all beings.
Thank you Rinpoche for the sharing.It is really amazing how they could get along so well.In time of need they were brought together and when they grew up they remember their friendship for life.How nice if we could appreciate our relative and friends just as much.Many a times human relationship will break up due to small misunderstandings and at times due to greed.We humans still have a lot to learn and Dharma is the best source of Guidance.
Its so amazing to see three wild animals live together without fighting or hurting each other.
These animals are all equal sentient beings.
This post also proves that animals are smarter than us,because they know when is the right time to fight and what is not the right to fight.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this post.
It’s so wonderful to see a bear, a tiger and a lion becoming friends and living together in harmony. This is so touching…
Thanks to Noar’s Ark who rescued them from abused by drug dealers. Now they have a safe sanctuary to live amongst their friends.
Thank you, Rinpoche, for sharing this video.
Thank you Rinpoche sharing this touching story . Wonderful ,this three animals which Bear ,Lion and Tiger can be friend , no fight and no hurt each other. Is due to they have a very bad physical experiences before ?? And now they want to enjoy peaceful life … 🙂 Good to share with my friends.
This is really cool 🙂 I never would have imagined this animals to become best friends. This is very interesting indeed. Animals can really be so special at times, they are all nice to each other which is a good thing. Thank you for sharing Rinpoche.
Dear Rinpoche, for some people who never heard of this news they would probably say this ‘This is insane! How could a tiger, a bear and a lion become best friends?’ But still I was really amazed when I read this article. I wish there will be more news like this and may more people learn to be more humble to each other by watching this video.
Amazing the three animals can become “good friends”. from the video they look like a family and touch to each other.it really touching .
Dear Rinpoche,
What a really nice and heartwarming story…
It amazing how 3 animals, 2 from the open wilderness and one from the lush green forest united to gather to be a group of friends…. or the (BLT).
Though animals are graded lower than us the seem to be much smarter then us….. why??? This is because just in this Blog I have read so many heartwarming stories on a dog saving 4 kittens lifes, animals that tend to fight together are friends, dogs and animals saving the lives of humans and so many other stories.
Though they are a few stories of people saving dogs and animals i still think that I have read and heard of more stories of the strangest combination of animals being friends.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this very heartwarming story!!!
Love
Jutika
isn’t this like the Christian heaven – Isaiah 11:6-9 (New International Version) – 6 The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them. 7 The cow will feed with the bear, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox. 8 The infant will play near the hole of the cobra, and the young child put his hand into the viper’s nest. 9 They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.
This verse above also sounds like Pemako http://blog.tsemtulku.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/art-architecture/pemako-vajrayoginis-sacred-body.html
Perhaps it just shows that the world’s religions are really more similar than we think 🙂 The root of it all is peaceful and harmonious living together… no angst, no confrontation, no stress, no pain – just love.
This is so awesome. It goes to show that even animals of different species can come together and be friends. Why can’t humans, who are of the same species stay friends? Shame Shame to the humans.
This also shows that animals have a higher intelligence than some humans.. Humans are supposed to be a higher species but why our minds are lower than animals? This is due to the poisonings of material gain.
These two animal friends have nothing to gain from each other and that is how they become true friends!
Wow this article is so awesome, it show that all sentient beings is equal and can stay peaceful with each others all the time.
Just like human beings, who you always connect to will easily make u as same with them.
As in Advice From Atisha’s Heart ” Avoid activities that are said to be meritorious, but which in fact are obstacles to Dharma.” so that we able be the better person with the RIGHT friends or environment…
