  • Story Text: Three abandoned tiger cubs are living happily with pigs at the Xiangjiang Safari Park in south China's Guangdong province.
    The sow has adopted the cubs after they were abandoned by their biological mother at the Park.
    The mother of the cubs, a Bengal tigress, abandoned them because she was a first-time mother who did not know how to care for her offspring. The staff at the park bought a pig who had just given birth to act as a wet nurse for the cubs.
