It could be straight out of the Disney hit 'The Lion King' but this lion cub and meerkat cuddling up to each other is for real. The lion cub named Zinz who was rejected by its mother at just a day old has struck up an unlikely frendship with Bob, the meerkat.



Marcell Tournier, owner of Predator World, took the cup in after her mother refused to feed her and said Bob, the meerkat ''likes having anything cuddly and cute around'' and that ''the pair barely leave each other's sides.'' Now all we need is one friendly, if slightly gassy warthog! If you have any unusual animal friendships stories you'd like us to feature then please email us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
