The mother tiger after recovering from the<br \/>delivery, suddenly started to decline in health, although physically she<br \/>was fine. <\/p>\n<p>The veterinarians felt that the loss of her litter had caused the<br \/>tigress to fall into a depression. The doctors decided that if the<br \/>tigress could surrogate another mother&#8217;s cubs, perhaps she would<br \/>improve. <\/p>\n<p>After checking with many other zoos across the country, the depressing<br \/>news was that there were no tiger cubs of the right age to introduce to<br \/>the mourning mother. The veterinarians decided to try something that had<br \/>never been tried in a zoo environment. <\/p>\n<p>Sometimes a mother of one species will take on the care of a different<br \/>species. The only &quot;orphans&quot; that could be found quickly, were a litter<br \/>of wiener pigs. The zoo keepers and vets wrapped the piglets in tiger<br \/>skin and placed the babies around the mother tiger. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"736\" height=\"552\" src=\"http:\/\/www.theworldbyroad.com\/expedition\/wp-content\/uploads\/Image\/Surrogatemum1.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"http:\/\/www.theworldbyroad.com\/expedition\/wp-content\/uploads\/Image\/Surrogatemum2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I hate to keep posting about animals over and over, but I keep getting these great forwards.&nbsp; Check this out.
