Yangon Zoo:" A woman in Myanmar has volunteered to breastfeed a pair of endangered Bengal tiger cubs born at the Yangon zoo and separated from their aggressive mother. The two week-old cubs, a male and a female, were taken from their mother Noah Noah after she killed the third cub in her litter, prompting veterinarians to engage in alternative childcare, Hla Htay, the a Human-mother, who was breast feeding her own child, offered her services after a hostile Bengal tiger killed one of her cubs. The two surviving cubs, a male and a female, were removed from their mother and now receive feedings from Htay four times a day. I felt sorry for them so I decided to feed them before their teeth grow, she said. The cubs were the first born at the zoo in 16 years. The Bengal tiger, Panthera tigris, is listed as endangered on the World Conservation Union's red list, with the global population estimated at fewer than 2,500. I didn't know it was possible for a different species to do this, what do you think of this, a women breastfeeding tiger cubs?"
