It seems that everyone is used to cats being easily friends with dogs. Hippos with turtles and elephants with sheep.
Unusual friendships between different species of animals are nothing new. Animals are just as capable of feeling compassion and love as we are. Many images circulating on social media show that animals can form interspecies relationships.
Friendship is friendship in Africa. Yet these charming creatures seem literally made for each other, although very different. The amazing friendship between a tigress and a piglet.
We want to share with you an amazing story that took place in 2004 in a beautiful zoo in Thailand. Siracha Tiger Zoo is a private zoo located in Siracha district, Chonburi province.
It was created in 1997 and works mainly for tourism and entertainment. This zoo is famous for its circus shows, unusual exhibits and show programs with tigers.
Amazingly, at the zoo, even an elephant walks on a rope. Meet Saimai, the tigress, who has lived at the zoo for two years. As a small. She was fed by a pig until she was four months old.
In order to surprise visitors and attract as many new customers as possible. In 2004, zoo officials came up with the idea of swapping the cubs.
This is how a sow nursing cubs and a tigress nursing piglets appeared in the zoo. The animals quickly became the hallmark of the zoo.
The pig welcomed the little ones almost immediately. But the tigress did not. The management then decided on a trick. The piglets were dressed in special comfortable vests in the color of the tiger.
Photos showing the tigress with the piglets were posted on social media. Thanks to the internet, animals have become popular all over the world. Over time, the piglets grew.
They also live with the tigress, and eventually they stopped wearing them. The zoo has been repeatedly criticized by animal rights organizations.
The safety of visitors with the animals left a lot to be desired. The zoo fixed all the issues and still exists today. Good thing the tigress didn’t eat the piglets for dinner.
