Dog Nurses Tiger Cubs

By Jill Harness in Animal, Odd News on Jul 22, 2009 at 12:40 am


If you were impressed with the dog who wet nursed the red panda cubs, just wait till you read about the dog who adopted these tiger cubs. The page also has photos of a dog in the same area that adopted two lion cubs.

What I want to know is why are all these wild animal mothers being so negligent to their young in the first place. Thank goodness for these good natured dogs or these cubs would be in big trouble.

    Um? What's with the chain? If the dog mommas are so willing to step up, why do they have to chain her down? Weird.

    "why are all these wild animal mothers being so negligent to their young in the first place"

    ...umm. probably the mothers were killed somehow, and the cubs are orphaned? It's not as though tiger mums get fed up with their kids and ditch them...

    Or? There isn't enough habitat or resources to sustain themselves let along new additions to the 'population' for a given region.
