Tigers and Orangutans

I don’t usually post this type of stuff, but this time I can’t hold back. This is possibly the cutest story ever.

At a zoo in Indonesia, they have 2 baby tigers and 2 baby orangutans that shared a room shortly after they were born. Now they have all become pals. They play together, and when worn out, they nap together.

And, surprisingly enough, they have yet to fight.

But, there is a sad part to every story. The playmates will soon have to be split up:

“When the time comes, they will have to be separated. It’s sad, but we cant’ change their natural behavior,” she said. “Tigers start eating meat when they are three months old.”

Go here and see the pictures.
