The special group including three baby lions, one baby tiger and one baby hyena, all born at the Akwaaba Lodge in Rustenburg, South Africa were abandoned (遗弃) immediately by their mothers. Fortunately the owner of the Akwaaba Lodge，Layla Cajee decided to not only raise the young babies, but also, place them in the same room. Not knowing any better, the animals have all become best friends who spend their whole day playing and nights，cuddled up (依偎) next to each other.

　　Like every young child who is just learning to walk, each one has an obvious personality. According to Layla, the leader of the group is the five­month­old tiger Bella, who controls everything including trying to get the biggest share during mealtimes. The lions-Delano, Romeo and Maximus who are also five months old, are surprisingly shy. As for six­month­old Milika, the hyena? She is the naughty and noisy one, always ready to pick a fight with her temporary friends.

　　Temporary, because this group will not last forever. Within about two years, as soon as the animals turn into dangerous predators，they will be given their own living places. But it is thanks to this unusual relationship that they will be able to see that day, because none of them would have been able to survive alone in the wild.

　　What would be interesting to observe is their relationship if they ever meet each other in the wild. Will they compete with each other as fiercely for the same prey as they normally do or，will they remember the fact that they were once friends and share their kills?
