Brazilian lion was glorified by a dog

In the Brazilian zoo, which is located in the city of Peña, there is an endless sold-out at the cage with a lion. Local lion Mombasa lives not alone, but with a friend – a dog Belinha. This animal friendship lasts for a year already.

"When Mombasa was born, its mother refused it because she did not have milk," – Katya Cassaro, an employee of the zoo, told the Brazilian portal Globo.

According to the correspondent of tvbrics.com with reference to rg.ru, the lion cub was fed by local biologists, but to grow and develop, it needed a team.. The adult neighbor began to treat the future fierce predator simply as a puppy.

Today Mombasa is a 111-kilogram beast, it is twice the size of its friend, but it does not prevent the dog to feel like a full hostess in the common home. By the way, unlike Beligha, experienced lion specialists, a biologist and a vet, come into the cage cautiously.

It is not the first case in the world when dogs and the largest cats on the planet live together. In Henan province, China, a Tibetan Mastiff lived with an African lion
