Lion, Tiger and Bear - Unlikely trio of wild friends live and swim together at Myrtle Beach sanctuary
Lions, tigers and bears are the kind of apex predators that instill fear in the hearts of most humans.
'These three have been playing together all their lives, so they've forgotten their differences,' said Doc Antle who runs the preserve.
Antle coordinates wildlife conservation projects all over the world via RareSpeciesFund.org. He says allowing the animals to swim in his specially constructed pool keeps them healthy, agile and stimulated.
'It's great exercise for them and it helps keep them cool in the summer,' he said.
