Amur and Timur

Amur and Timur (Russian: Амур и Тимур) are a tiger and a goat who have established an unlikely friendship in a safari park in Primorye in the Far East of Russia. The goat was placed in the tiger's enclosure as food but, by its confident behaviour, established a rapport with the tiger which did not eat it. There was an incident of mauling when the goat annoyed the tiger by poking it with its horns for hours but, after treatment for shock the goat recovered. The pair were separated after another fight in 2016 and Timur was moved to the Exhibition of Achievements of National Economy (VDNKh) in Moscow.
