Re: Mother Tiger

Re: Mother Tiger
I liked the Mother Tiger story better!!
The Zoo is kinda weird..according to the Snopes site, the piglets were placed in the tiger enclosure to be raised and the tigers were placed in the pig enclosure to be raised...Weird!

Re: Mother Tiger
Thanks for posting this. This was sent to me about a year ago, and it is just the cutest thing I've ever seen. I was thinking about posting it here, but you beat me to it.
