doughboy1956 Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 In a zoo in California, a mother tiger gave birth to a rare set of triplet tiger 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 startedto 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 cubs, 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 weaner 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........ You won't believe your eyes!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrswtnhunt Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Re: You won\'t believe your eyes!!!! a mother is still a mother. she still has the instinct to love and take care of the babies, even though they aren't "her" babies. That is so cute. I love the little outfits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUGARKAHNE Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Re: You won\'t believe your eyes!!!! That's too sweet! At one time I had some pics of an orphaned squirrel that someone gave to a dog with a litter of newborn pups. The dog mothered that squirrel and nursed it and everything.It was pretty cute.

Guest CokerColaBear Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Re: You won\'t believe your eyes!!!! I read where a Panda bear just gave birth to twins somewhere in China, but because she was so tired she accidentally smothered one of them and it's dead, that is so sad.
