Got sent this in an e-mail today and just had to share it.
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 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...
Now, please tell me one more time ........?
Why can't the rest of the world get along??
