A Georgia rescue center has an unlikely trio of animal buddies.

Leo the lion, Shere Kahn the tiger and Baloo the bear share a home a the park thanks to their unlikely upbringing. The three animals, kept as pets by drug barons, were seized during a raid in Atlanta eight years ago when they were still cubs.

Shere Kahn, Leo and Baloo enjoy their new home at Noah's Ark

When they were turned over to the Noah’s Ark Rescue Center in Locust Grove, Ga., the decision was made to keep them together. Raised by the zoo’s founders, the three get along like siblings. Now that they have a new public enclosure, visitors can see the three eating, sleeping and playing together.

Enjoy the photos, courtesy of the Noah’s Ark Facebook fan page for the trio, which you can find here.
