An unlikely friendship between a goatand tiger has shocked zoo keepers in
Siberia. The zoo keepers threw the goat
into the tiger’s den but to their
surprise, the animals became friends
with the goat even taking over the
tiger’s bed.
The tiger named Amur, is used to
killing and eating goats, as he is fed
one twice a week, staff told the
Siberian Times.
But this one brave goat has somehow
managed to survive four days
without being troubled by the
usually carnivorous predator.

“We think that the goat never came
across tigers and no-one taught him
to be scared of them,” said one of the
tiger’s keepers.”He kicked the tiger
out of his bedroom and is sleeping
on Amur’s ‘bed’ for the fourth
night.”
Keepers have now named the goat
Timur “out of respect for his
bravery”.
“He was just a nameless prey at the
point when he entered the cage,” the
keeper said.
