Tigers Adopts
 

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,
died shortly after birth.

The mother tiger 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 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
wiener pigs. The zoo keepers and vets wrapped the piglets in tiger skin
and placed the babies around the mother tiger.

Hope she dont freak when the little pigs take their "jackets" off by accident and think her babies are falling apart.
