Thought you all might enjoy this!! 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 weaner 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 real story is just as interesting if a little more disturbing if that zoo really had such shady dealings. Nature vs. nurture being tested I suppose. :idea: Thanks for the snopes version.
