Bear, Lion and Tiger Friends Say Goodbye After 16 Years Together

There are few animal stories as heartwarming as that of  “BLT.” These bear and lion and tiger friends, three animals that have been together for their entire lives, treat each other like family. They nuzzle up to each other regularly and almost never were apart.
