«Breaking News» Totally roarsome! Lion and tiger cubs are best buddies - eating, sleeping and exploring together

A four-month old tiger cub and three-and-a-half month old lion cub have become inseparable.

Smurfik, and its younger pal Eva, chase each other around and guzzle milk together at Sochi's Oktiabrski Spa, Russia. 

Their friendship is not destined to last, however, as in two months time they will be separated and placed into two larger enclosures. Smurfik may then be sent to Moscow, or Ekaterinburg.

Footage shot at their home shows the two hard at play.

The tiger creeps up on the lion hiding behind a wall, who then leaps out at it, and the two run off together. 

In another shot, the lion runs around behind the tiger playfully tugging at its behind. 

The two also clamber behind a screen together to do some exploring, and at one point the young tiger decides to hide under a chair while the lion cub basks in the sun. 

'They behave perfectly,' said spa manager Olga Zaskavskaya.

'They understand what is allowed and what isn’t. 

'We will raise them as far as possible at our place. Later on we let them go into an open space located in an enclosure.' 

The four-month-old tiger cub (pictured) and the three-and-a-half month old lion cub are inseperable

The two eat as much as four pounds (two kilograms) of meat a day and drink goats milk

The two cubs consume four pounds (two kilograms) of meat per day, washed down with a load of goat’s milk.

Lions and tigers do not usually meet in the wild due to their restricted habitats and reduced populations, but they did in the past.

The two big cats used to cross each others paths in India and Iran where their ranges overlapped.

Their friendship is not destined to last, however. In two months they will be separated and both placed into different enclosures

However, in India the two are now separated by man-made barriers between their different habitats.

In Iran, its Caspian Tigers are believed to be extinct. One of the last sightings was reported in 1958, in the North-eastern Golestan National Park.

Similarly, lions are also now absent from the country, today only found in India's Gir Forest, Gujarat.

TIGERS VS. LIONS

Tigers

A tiger looks after her cubs in Ranthambhore tiger reserve, India

Weight: Around 165 to 716 lbs

Height: Between two feet and 3.6 inches to three feet and 11.2 inches (70 to 120 cm) 

Length: Between four foot eight inches to nine foot five inches (146 to 289 cm) 

Habitat: They are found only in Asia, living in warm arid forests, mangrove swaps, tropical forests and taiga. The Siberian tiger, however, tends to live in colder areas in the east of Russia and northeast of China.

Social?: Normally solitary animals, spending their time roaming their territory to find food 

Numbers in the wild: There were 3,890 in 2016, according to the WWF

Numbers in captivity: There are around 5,000 in the US alone, and more in other countries, according to the WWF

Lions

Weight: Between 265 to 500 lbs (120 to 191 kilograms), depending on the species

Height: A male is around 36 inches (90 centimetres) and a female is around 30 inches (75 centimetres)

Length: Tend to be four foot five inches to six foot five inches long (1.4 to 2 metres)

Habitat: They tend to live in areas of scrub, open grassland or open woodland

Social?: Unlike tigers, these big cats live in groups. They can range in size between 13 to 40 lions. African lions live in majority female prides with one or two males, while Asiastic lions will live in all-male and all-female prides. These only come together during the breeding season

Numbers in the wild: There are 20,000 African lions, according to the WWF. A survey in 2015 also found there were 523 Asiatic lions

Numbers in captivity: Not known

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
