Timur (left) and Amur (right)

Amur and Timur (Russian: Амур и Тимур) are respectively a tiger and a goat who established an unlikely interspecies friendship in a safari park in Primorye in the Far East of Russia.[when?] Timur was placed in Amur's enclosure as food but, by his confident behaviour, established a rapport with Amur, who did not eat him.[1] The pair were separated after another fight in 2016 and Timur was moved to the Exhibition of Achievements of National Economy (VDNKh) in Moscow.[2] Timur died on November 5, 2019, aged 5.[3]
