The little wild cub was not wanted by his mom soon after his birth, and his life seemed terrible. However, everything changed when he met the most amicable dog on the planet!

Hunter, who is a lovable Bengal tiger cub, was rejected by his mother not long after birth. The tiger was rescued from where he had been held captive for quite a while.

He was saved and brought to the Farm Inn Wildlife Sanctuary located in Pretoria, South Africa. However, as it happens to wild creatures held captive every now and again, he lost her nurturing instincts, and this made his life even harder.

A volunteer at the Farm Inn Wildlife Sanctuary named Anthea Michaletos said that Hunter was brought into the world when the female may have felt compromised somehow or another with the way she rejected him. Everybody at the sanctuary thought that little Hunter would not get by or even survive without a mother to keep him warm and really care for him.

In any case, they were totally wrong. In fact, the downtrodden tiger began to flourish as soon as he met Chelsea, who is a friendly German Pointer.

Regardless of the colossal differences between the two creatures, Hunter and Chelsea immediately became indivisible friends, and that only brought happiness into the hearts of the workers.

After finding himself all alone in this world, a tiger cub learned why dogs are referred to as man's best companions.

Anthea says that when she takes Chelsea out in the morning, she will race to Hunter’s cage and greet him. She added that there is a ton of wrestling involved as Chelsea pushes him over, and afterward, he bounces on her.

Come and give me a big hug!

Having a four-legged companion is exceptionally helpful for Hunter on the grounds that he can play as he would if he had another litter mate. It happens that he is the only cub in his litter, so it was crucial for him to have a companion.

The animal world never stops astounding us with its amazingly odd kinds of friendships

Chelsea and Hunter are just one of many incredible examples of the far-fetched friendships that help animals flourish and set heads spinning.

It's play time!

However, this excellent bond will not last forever, as Anthea said that it may very well be risky for them to play together when Hunter arrives at the age of 6 months.

Chelsea and Hunter are having a good time together

Well, no one can really say for sure what can happen, but certainly anything can happen. But then again, the animal world never stops astounding us with its amazingly odd kinds of friendships! 

Watch them play in the video below

Nowadays, we see a lot of animals becoming friends with other animals that they shouldn’t be friends with ordinarily. You can imagine being friends with a predator, but instead of eating you up, you guys build a strong friendship together.

That is the kind of friendship that exists between Chelsea and Hunter, but will it last forever? No one knows. Drop your comments about this post below.
