Orphaned bear cubs and tiger cub become friends

Two orphaned black bear cubs in China have formed an unlikely friendship with a tiger cub at China's Qingdao Wildlife Park.

The three-month old twin cubs were taken from their mother at birth after she showed signs of rejecting them.

They have received specialist care and were first fed on milk from other animals, before being moved on to artificial milk.

Keepers say the cubs are doing well and will soon be independent and strong enough to be introduced to the public for the first time.
