This is amazing!
PORK CHOPS
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 zookeepers 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...
Now, please tell me one more time ........?
Why can't the rest of the world get along??

I see Lynn posted the snopes link below. These photos are not quite what they seem to be, and this didn't happen in California, or quite the way it's told above. It's something of an internet e-mail hoax. Cute photos, though.
It reminds me of one of my favorite Woody Allen lines (from back before we learned of his darker side):
"The lion and the lamb shall lie down together,
But the lamb won't get much sleep."
