Uber Cute Animal Story!!! - Pets and Animals - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

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 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 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

the truth on this one is weirder than the email forward it comes w/

the tiger was partially raised/nursed by a pig, and the zookeepers did the reverse with her (piglets for her to raise) not because of some medical reason, or because of a lost litter - they do it for shits and giggles.

ok, i'm sure they phrase it in a more high minded fashion, but essentially, it comes down to 'hey, look, that tiger isn't eating the pigs' shits and giggles.
