Mother of the Year


In a zoo in California , a mother tiger gave birth to a rare set oftriplet tiger cubs.  Unfortunately, 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. Theveterinarians felt that the loss of her litter had caused the tigress to fall into adepression. The doctors decided that if the tigress could getanother mother's cubs, perhaps she would improve.After checking with many other zoos across the country, the depressingnews was that there were no tiger cubs of the right age to introduce tothe mourning  mother. The veterinarians decided to try something thathad never been  tried in a zoo environment. Sometimes a mother of onespecies will take on the care of a different species. The only orphans"that could be found quickly, were a litter of weaner pigs.  The zookeepers and vets wrapped the piglets in tiger skin and placed thebabies around the mother tiger. Would they become cubs or pork chops??Take a look........ you won't believe your eyes!!
