Surrogate MOM!!!

 Mom

>>       Read the story first..

>>       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 pre-maturely 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
>>wiener pigs.   The zookeepers and vets wrapped the piglets in tiger skin and
>>placed the babies around the mother tiger.

>>        Would they become cubs or pork???
>>       Take a look ... you won't believe your eyes!!!!!
