Pork Chops
In a zoo, 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...you won't believe your eyes!!
