Loading...Cute Animal Video of the Day: Abandoned Tigers Adopted By Dog
The Oktyabrsky Zoo, located in southern Russia, recently jumped to action to help three tiger cubs whose mother has a history of abandoning her cubs. This heartbreaking story took a happy turn, however, because sister Talli and her two brothers Olymp and Dar found solace in a new mother – a Swiss Shepherd named Talli.
Beautiful, light-coated Talli — who became the girl tiger’s namesake — quickly adopted and nursed the three lonely cubs once their birthmother refused to feed them. Talli definitely has a maternal streak; she divides her time between feeding the new cubs and preparing for a new litter of her own. Keepers supplement goat milk for the cubs to allow the pregnant Talli a nursing break from time to time, but she’s always eager to resume caring for the tigers.
Take a look at these hungry tigers with their new mom at feeding time:

Lola, NO, the mother did not get killed for her "parts". Read the article.............she refused to accept the cubs ............she abandoned them and did the same thing with a previous litter. Apparently, her bloodline is so rare, they re-bred her, even though she lacks maternal instincts.
Wonderful. Dogs are caring, kind and sweet-natured, we don't deserve them.
This White Swiss Sheperd is gorgeous, this breed kinda looks like my dog.
The tiger cubs are a dream, too, of course!
@ Lola B.
What are you talking about? Have you even read the cubs' mother story? I guess not.
LETS SEE, THE MOMMA GOT KILLED FOR THE CUBS, TIGER PARTS R VERY LUCRATIVE,,THESE BABES WILL BE SOLD AND WHEN THEIR GROWN,,GUTTED FOR PARTS TOO,,, SICKNING
If animals can love, care for and adopt others of a different species, why can't we at least accept those humans who are different.
The puppy appears to be a stunning example of puppy fitness, an area of intrest that hasn't been much talked about, until now. Notice the stretches before the over the head vault!
Thank you Claire, for Sharing this!
