Guess what? A lion 🦁 and a tiger 🐯 have become best friends at Beijing Wildlife Park!
On June 22, 2025, visitors at the park were amazed to see an African lion and a white Bengal tiger playing with a ball in a pool. Can you imagine seeing these big cats having fun together like that?
Both the lion and the tiger were born without access to their mothers’ milk. That’s so sad! But the caretakers at the park stepped in and hand-reared them since they were tiny cubs. They grew up together, sharing meals, taking naps, and playing every day.
Now, they have a special bond that’s just like brothers. Their rare friendship shows that even the fiercest animals can be gentle and caring. Isn’t that heartwarming? 💖
If you ever visit Beijing Wildlife Park, keep an eye out for these two amazing friends!
