In a zoo in California, a mother tiger gave birth to a rare set  of triplet tiger cubs. Unfortunately, due to complications in the  pregnancy, the cubs were born prematurely and due to their tiny size,  they died shortly after birth.
The mother tiger after recovering from the delivery,  suddenly started to decline in health, although physically she was fine.  The veterinarians felt that the loss of her litter had caused the  tigress to fall into a depression. The doctors decided that if the  tigress could surrogate another mother’s cubs, perhaps she would  improve.
After checking with many other zoos across the country,  the depressing news was that there were no tiger cubs of the right age  to introduce to the mourning mother. The veterinarians decided to try  something that had never been tried in a zoo environment. Sometimes a  mother of one species will take on the care of a different species. The  only orphans” that could be found quickly, were a litter of weaner pigs.  The zoo keepers and vets wrapped the piglets in tiger skin and placed  the babies around the mother tiger.

How sweet! My second thought: Pigs in blankets….
