A lion, Tiger and Bear Cub were rescued from a drug dealer in deplorable conditions. They became residents of Noah's Ark animal Sanctuary and lived together for more than 14 years, Sadly, Leo the lion was diagnosed with cancer in his liver and was put down. There was Leo the Lion, Baloo the bear and The Bengal tiger — named Shere Khan .
All of these beautiful animals suffered injuries, perhaps none greater than Baloo the bear. His shackles were so tight, they grew into his skin and had to be surgically removed. While he was being operated on, Leo and Shere Khan acted up and refused to eat in protest of their bear friend not being there. When they were reunited, the lion and Tiger were fine and resumed eating.
Noah's Ark broke the news late on Thursday on its Facebook page:
The post read:
LEO UPDATE: Good evening friends, I am so sorry to say that our beloved Leo has passed away. As you can imagine, we are all heartbroken over this loss. During today's surgery, we discovered that over 80% of Leo's liver was full of tumors and because of this, the decision was made to let him go. Both Baloo and Shere Khan were able say goodbye to their lion brother, and we will monitor them closely for any signs of stress or depression as they are grieving the loss of a family member as well. Thank you all so much for your support and your prayers, they are appreciated more than you will ever know especially during such an emotional time for all of us.
Leo captured the hearts of people from around the world with his unique life story and will not be forgotten. The post has been shared on Facebook thousands of times, with mourners offering their condolences to Noah's Ark for this tremendous loss.
If you would like to honor Leo and help support the brothers he left behind, please consider donating to Noah's Ark Animal Sanctuary, which is solely run on donations. The facility houses more than 1,200 animals representing 100 species
