It is quite common for people to form close and loving friendships with animals. But it is quite a different matter when that animal is a 27-stone tiger with a fondness for fighting. Abdullah Sholeh, 31 has formed an unbreakable bond with four-year-old feline Mulan. 能与动物亲近友爱相处已经不足为奇，但倘若对象是一只重达27英石、喜爱捕猎的老虎，那就是另外一码事了。不过31岁的阿卜杜拉·索勒就和这只名叫“木兰”的4岁老虎有着极为密切的关系。 He regularly sleeps, plays and fights with the enormous tiger. The pair spend every day together after Mr Sholeh helped raise her from a three-month-old cub in Malang, Indonesia. 他经常和这只庞大的老虎一起睡觉、玩耍、打斗。他们住在印度尼西亚的玛琅，索勒在木兰3个月大时就开始照顾它，自那之后他们一直生活在一起。 He now cares for her full-time for owner Noer Mohammaed Sholeh - and has become affectionately known as the tiger nanny. The pair are so inseparable, Mr Sholeh often shuns his own bed to sleep alongside the big cat in a rickety outhouse. 现在他为老虎的主人诺尔全职在照料它，为此他还被冠以“老虎保姆”的名号。他们密不可分，索勒在睡觉的时候还经常会把自己的床留出一块来和这只“巨猫”一起睡，他们一起住在一个摇摇晃晃的外屋里。 And Bengal Mulan is even known to 'mock attack', hug and kiss her companion when they play in the garden behind their home. |
