On July 2nd, a video of Labrador being breast-fed by four tigers received enthusiastic attention on the Internet at Longkou Zoo and Botanical Garden in Shandong Province. It turned out that a tigress in the zoo and botanical garden refused to breast-feed her four cubs. The staff of the zoo and botanical garden had no choice but to find a tame and lactating Labrador as a temporary nurse for the tiger. Originally, the staff were worried that Labrador retriever and Tiger would not accept each other, which led to the situation that Tiger still had no milk source again. But what I didn't expect was that the Labrador lovingly accepted four tiger cubs that were different from themselves, and the tiger cubs also regarded the Labrador as their mother, and they had a great dependence on the dog.
In fact, like most animals in the animal kingdom, Tigress usually takes good care of her children after giving birth. This tigress in Longkou, Shandong Province must have trusted the park staff who took care of her, so she left the newborn tiger alone. Because he knows that even if he doesn't care, the staff will try their best to help him take care of the children.
A similar situation happened in a zoo in Russia before. At that time, the tigress gave birth to two cubs and left like this, regardless of the cubs. In order to solve the survival problem of the two cubs, city zoo took the cubs to his home and let his Sharpay dog be their wet nurse. The two cubs quickly accepted their new mother and got along well with the human baby in the manager's house, the manager himself and a cat at home.
Although the tiger mother was willful for a while and gave up breastfeeding her children, the dogs were enthusiastic about being wet nurses for the tiger cubs and letting them be? Abandoned? Yes, the life of the poor tiger cub brings new sunshine and hope. This harmonious acceptance and coexistence between different kinds of animals may also give us some enlightenment: no matter how different races are, we humans can ignore each other's differences and get along well.
