CISARUA, Indonesia (AP) -- Call them the odd couples. A pair of month-old Sumatran tiger twins have become inseparable playmates with a set of young orangutans, an unthinkable match in their natural jungle habitat in Indonesia's tropical rainforests.

The friendship between 5-month-old female baby primates Nia and Irma, and cubs Dema and Manis, has blossomed at the Taman Safari zoo where they share a room in the nursery.

After being abandoned by their mothers shortly after birth, the four play fight, nipping and teasing each other, and cuddling up for a shared nap when they are worn out....

And then disaster strikes, leaving only bloody orangutan entrails in its wake.

I want to see the video of the fight. Orangutans are some strong SOBs.

As the tigers grow, they keep thinking, "Those guys look more and more delicious every day, but I don't know why!"
