Pork Chops?



As I was checking my email the other day I came across one that I thought I would share with you.
In a zoo in California, a mother tiger gave birth to a rare set of triplet tiger cubs. They were born prematurely due to complications with the tigress and due to their size and other factors, they expired shortly after birth. The mother tiger then fell into a deep depression and physically could not recover from the birth of the triplets. One of the veterinarians had the idea to let her be a surrogate mother to tiger cubs who were orphans. After checking with zoo's nation wide the only species that would be the appropriate age was a litter of baby pigs. Not knowing how this would turn out for the piglets, the doctors decided to give it a try in hopes to bring the tigress back to life. They wrapped the pigs in tiger fur and placed them in the pen while the tiger was sleeping. Look at what happened next...




This was such a cute story to me. The tigress made a full recovery and took the pigs in as her very own. I think you can learn a lot from this, I know I did. I know it is just a picture of a tiger taking care of pigs, but to me it is more. Does it make you think about anything, or how you look at life?

    It would have been a sweet story, though.
