You Won’t Believe Your Eyes!

Big cats are dangerous and imposing creatures. Tigers, lions, and jaguars all have massive claws and teeth, and they are biologically engineered to kill for survival. They’ll even do so without batting an eye. So you’d assume that if a small pet tried to confront one of these predators, they would immediately become their next meal! However, you’d be surprised to know that this isn’t always the outcome. When one particular jaguar named Jake came across a small Jack Russell terrier named Bullet at the Akwaaba Lodge in South Africa, he defied his true nature… in the name of friendship.

His caretaker, who became his “foster mom”, noticed that Jag was looking very lonely, needing to constantly sleep with her, which wasn’t always possible. On the property lived Bullet, the Jack Russell dog, whom the caretaker had a feeling would be a great companion for Jag. As unlikely as this pairing might seem, not just because they are a cat and a dog, but the imbalance in their power, her hunch was right. From the moment Jag and Bullet met, this unusual friendship blossomed into a thing of beauty. Eating, sleeping and playing together all day long, the two enjoyed each other’s company without a single moment apart.

A fascinating relationship!

However, when Jag got bigger, it was necessary to move him to a different area. The two fell into a depression and longing. Jag would cry for hours and Bullet would not move from outside the fence, within visual distance, barking endlessly. It’s always so amazing to see a friendship blossom, especially when it’s between two animals who don’t normally get a chance to interact in the wild. Watch this amazing video to see how this tale of friendship ends. It’s amazing how two different species become one, right?
