Photos to warm your heart - tiger cubs!

[Liz]

This is Anjana, a chimpanzee that cares for two baby tiger cubs. Just click in the middle of the larger images - and you will see more photos. It includes photos of when the cubs were tiny - then 6 months later......

The 2nd link is a short Utube video/presentation - same chimpanzee and tiger cubs.

Awwwwwww. I'm a total sucker for this stuff. All I have to see is kitty cats and I lose all masculinity. But kittens and a chimp? I don't even know what to do with myself!

Thanks for sharing that link, Liz

The photos with the small cubs are fantastic

The ones with the older cubs makes me worry about the monkey

Yes - viewing these images (which someone emailed me so they were larger in the email), really touched me. I especially love the shot with the kitten lying on the chimp looking into his face - and the chimp laughing.

Awesome.

There are quite a few of these video and/or presentations of these kittens and chimp on utube. I watched one with the owner of the animals, and she said that they would separate the chimp from the "kittens" when their teeth get big. She also added that the tigers had more to worry about than the chimp - as the chimp would win any fights.

You're welcome! I thought people would enjoy seeing these. I've viewed the images on my email a few times. For some reason the photos are larger on my email - so easier to see, although there are none of the "6 months later" shots.

I also watched quite a few videos on U-tube of them. Very touching.

I love the pic of the chimp on his back smiling at the cub on his chest!

Love em, Liz. Reminds me somehow of an episode of some nature show i was watching with my son about a Lioness that had taken a baby antelope under her wing and was raising it as her own. . .
Love this stuff, thanks for sharing.
