This is one of the best ones seen in a long time. I hope you enjoy it as much as
I did.
In a zoo in California , a tigress gave birth to a set of triplet cubs.
Unfortunately, due to complications in the pregnancy, the cubs were born
prematurely and due to their tiny size, they died shortly after birth.
The mother tiger after recovering from the delivery, suddenly started to decline
in health, although physically she was fine. The veterinarians felt that the
loss of her litter had caused the tigress to fall into a depression The doctors
decided that if the tigress could surrogate another mother's cub's, perhaps she
would improve.
After checking with many other zoos across the country, the depressing news was
that there were no tiger cubs of the right age to introduce to the mourning
mother. The veterinarians decided to try something that had never been tried in
a zoo environment. Sometimes a mother of one species, will take on the care of a
different species. The only 'orphans' that could be found quickly, were a litter
of weaning pigs. The zoo keepers and vets wrapped the piglets in tiger skin and
placed the babies around the mother tiger. Would they become cubs or pork
chops??
Take a look...
Now, if a tigress & piglets can get along........
Why can't the rest of the world??
