Tiger, lion cubs and their dog mother

A dog licks a lion cub after she acted as the milk provider for it and three other newborn lion and tiger cubs at a safari park in Hefei, east China's Anhui province, July 26, 2009. Three lion cubs and tiger cub were born in June but their first-time mothers were unable to breastfeed them. Zoo staff instead found a dog, which recently gave birth to some puppies, to feed the cubs. [Xinhua]Tiger, lion cubs and their dog mother
