In a Californian zoo, 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 intoa depression.

The doctors decided that if the tigress could surrogate another
mother's cubs, perhapsshe 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.
This is when 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.
But the only orphans that could be found quickly, were
a litter of weanling piglets.

The zoo keepers and vets wrapped the piglets in tiger skin and placed the babies
around the mother tiger.
