It looks like a scene right out a Disney movie, unlikely animal friends have formed a life-long bond.
A bear, lion and tiger are known as the BLT at the Noah's Ark Animal Sanctuary and their story is unusual.
Normally, animals of different species cannot be housed together, but Baloo the American black bear, shares space with Leo the lion and Shere Khan the tiger, Inside Edition reported.
Their enclosure is about three acres, giving the trio enough room to roam, but sanctuary officials said that they're within 100 feet of each other, even at mealtime.
The three have lived together at the sanctuary for 15 years after being rescued from a drug dealer's basement in Atlanta.
They were all under one year old at the time of the raid.
When he was found, Baloo's harness had grown into his skin after not being loosened as he grew.
Leo had an infected nose after he was found living in a small crate at the original owner's home, The Dodo reported.
And Shere Khan was underweight and malnourished, the sanctuary said.
Officials at Noah's Ark said the three will grow old together with their odd little family.
