Found in a drug dealer’s basement when they were just cubs, a bear, a lion and a tiger were rescued and moved to a Georgia animal sanctuary, where they continue living together in the same enclosure.

Baloo the bear, Leo the lion and Shere Khan the tiger have been best friends for 13 years. Their collective nickname at Noah's Art Animal Sanctuary in Locust Grove, Ga., is BLT, for Bear-Lion-Tiger.
