Harmonious coexistence of shepherd dog and tiger in Slovak Nature Reserve

Suria, a Siberian tiger in the Slovak wildlife reserve, and her 4-month-old cub, sunny, have developed a deep friendship with three German shepherds. They play together like brothers and sisters all day and never hurt each other.

In the picture, the adult tiger and the shepherd dog compete with each other, chase, play and caress each other. The little tiger and the little shepherd dog also have a good time, living together in a friendly, harmonious and happy way.

The reserve, run by yveta irsova, a large feline expert, aims to save the endangered Siberian tiger and help build a gene bank for critically endangered lions.
