    Emailed to me this morning:

    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...you won't believe your eyes!!
