Of tigers and orangutans



We’ll probably never get to hear about them together in the wild but here they are! At the Taman Safari Zoo, in Indonesia, two Sumatran tiger cubs and two baby orangutans have become the best of friends.

Abandoned at birth by their mothers, these babies share a nursery and therefore, the friendship.

Nice to know that natural enemies can be friends, even if it’s for a short time. (Yes, they are to be separated once the tigers start feeding on meat at three months.)

I’m thinking of all those people that we can dislike so easily. Maybe we can get to like them?
