In the wild, they'd be sworn enemies. But at a nature preserve in South Carolina, an orangutan and three tigers are now the best of friends.
A male orangutan at the Myrtle Beach Safari has taken a liking to three tiger cubs, after watching his human caretakers nurse the three baby cats.
Discovery Family visited the preserve recently, recording adorable video of the ape bottle-feeding, cuddling and petting the three baby cubs just like he was their mother.
"Orangutans spend a lot of time with their human caregivers, sometimes when they are nursing tiger cubs," the preserve wrote about the unlikely relationship.
