5 little piggies
In a California zoo, a mother tiger gave birth to a rare set of triplet
tiger cubs. Unfortunately, due to pregnancy complications, the cubs were
born prematurely and died shortly after birth.Mother tiger after recovering from the delivery, suddenly started to
decline in health, although physically fine. The vets felt that the loss
of her litter had caused her to fall into a depression. The doctors decided
that if she could surrogate another mother's cubs, perhaps she would
improve.After checking with many other zoos, the depressing news was that there
were no tiger cubs of the right age to introduce to the tiger mother. The
vets 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
pigs. The zoo keepers and vets wrapped the piglets in tiger skin and placed
the babies around the mother tiger. The results . . .*Love is Love - no matter where its found *
*and its why we're all here.** *
