In a California zoo, a mother tiger gave birth to a rare set of triplet cubs. Unfortunately, the cubs were born prematurely and due to their tiny size, they died shortly after birth.
The mother tiger, after recovering from the delivery, started to decline in health, although physically she was fine. The veterinarians felt that the loss of her litter caused the tigress to fall into a depression. The doctors decided that if the tigress could surrogate another mother's cubs, she might improve.
After checking many zoos across the country, they found 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 at a zoo before. 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 weanling 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...
