cubs, piglets and a sow

The title can be read as baby tigers, baby pigs and a pig mother. (to Don: Antony does not speak English.)

This must be week of pig or perhaps year of pig. Bruce the pushy pig who made the headline in NSW this week, there's another piggy news.

Meet the new happy family: a sow, three tiger cubs and a dozen piglets.

(the story follows...)

In a zoo in Dnipropetrovsk (Ukaine), three tiger cubs were born with their mother refusing to nurse them. (Abandoning kids or refusing to nurse kids must be a big sin in Catholic, Don?) And the very kind piggy mother is willing to fostering those baby tigers.

Well, you can read the story here and watch the video clip here.

Again some useless knowledge:
a male tiger is called a tiger thanks god for that;
a female tiger is called a tigress;
a baby tiger is called a cub.
And a group of tigers is called a steak of tigers.
