Mother Tiger Mourns Lost Cub, Starves Herself in Zoo; Piglets Replaced
Everyone says tigers are too fierce to eat cubs, but tigers treat their own children with the same care as others. A female tiger in a Thai zoo suddenly lost her cub, and couldn't bear the blow, so she started to starve herself. In this situation, the staff came up with a clever trick.
They brought in a few piglets, then dressed them in clothes to look like little tigers.
The piglets were too young to understand, believing these were their own mothers, and the female tiger thought the same, so they got along very well.
However, the staff were still worried, worried that the female tiger would grow bigger and bigger, and they didn't know what to do in this self-deceptive situation.
