Well, this is really an
interesting heart touching story between Amur the tiger and Timur the goat (who
was initially meant to be Amur's live food) became fast friends in late
November 2015 and in spite of what a lot of predicted the two are still good-naturedly
living together. Therefore, at Russia's Far East Safari Park, the rare duo
spend their time playing with one another as they relish a game of
hide-and-seek, hunt together, or butt heads for fun.
However, astonishingly, they
remained fast friends after Timur (goat) evicted Amur (Tiger) from his shelter
during a rainstorm. Though, under all circumstances, this duo has stuck together
and even as Amur continues to display his predatory instinct. We still feed
Amur live prey twice a week, but we don't give him goats anymore out of respect
for Timur," zoo director Dmitry Mezentsev told BBC.
At the moment, the question is:
what's stopping Amur from eating the goat that was meant to be his dinner? However,
according to the tiger's caretakers, it all has to do with Timur's courage. From
the time when the goat wasn't taught to be afraid of tigers, he didn't show spineless
behavior when he was put in Amur's cage. Therefore, the tiger was tangled and
gave up. Thus, it happened once before,
another goat pushed back and the tiger decided not to eat him, but once he
showed weakness that was it his predator killed him. The situation now not the
same and the animals are fast friends.
Moreover, to determine this extraordinary
relationship, the Far East Safari Park plans to install as much as 16 cameras
for a live stream. Since, the filmmakers “Eleonora Lyubimova” and “Sooyong Park”
are also captivated by the tiger and goat's relationship, which is why they have
filmed documentaries featuring the two great creatures. However, based on the
coverage Amur and Timur have received thus far, it seems as though they have
become a worldwide symbol for finding accord despite differences.
