There have been many cases in which animals took in cubs that didn’t belong to them, or even their species, like this adorable little pig. But I’ve never seen a monkey taking so well to a couple of tiger cubs before.

After Hurricane Hannah ravaged the state of South Carolina, the tigers of one of the zoos started acting very aggressive and were considered a danger to their young. So these two white tiger cubs were separated from their mother and adopted by a 2-year-old chimpanzee. As you can see from the photos he’s really taking parenting seriously. I wonderhow their relationship will evolve…

   This is absolutely fabulous! I’ve seen picts of cats and chickens, which is wierd in itself, but never chimps,although there was a gorilla who had a pet kitten. Now if only humans could learn from this, they might just take care of each other.

   Does anybody know what zoo in South Carolina these animals belong to?

   I need to contact them and see if they have any footage and more pictures in high resolution. Thank You.
