Take a look at this amazing picture below. Took it on my trip to Bangkok Safari Zoo. No tricks involved as it really happens. Notice the tiger cubs sucking milk from the pig mother together with a piglet. The mother pig did not even flinch an inch. Normally, fear will naturally emerge when a pig is near a tiger. However, I was told that these 2 tiger cubs' mother died on giving birth to them. At that time, there are no other female tigers around. So, they decided to do an experiment by putting the cubs onto a mother pig with an abundance of milk even after feeding her own piglets and see what happen. Amazingly, the mother pig welcome the cubs with openly without fear or favour. You just have to see it to believe it!
Well, my friend sent me some photos on this subject too. Decided to share it with you. Here goes :-
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!!
Now, please tell me one more time........... why can't
the rest of the world get along?

You are right even tiger and pig can get along very well, why can't the rest of the world get along.
Let's live in harmony and peace in this world, accept and love each others. First, we must take our first initiative to learn how to love others, don't wait others to make the first move.
