Dumb Animals???

This is a touching story.


These pictures made me think about how often I hear animals called "dumb animals".


The instinct shown here by Anjana ~ the surrogate chimp mother is astounding. She appears to love and nurture these tiger cubs as if they were her own babes.


When Hurricane Hannah separated two white tigers from their mother, Anjana came to the rescue.


Anjana, a chimp at TIGERS, in South Carolina, became their surrogate mother and playmate. She even helped with bottle feeding according to The Sun.


But here is the truly amazing part. This is something Anjana does all the time, having helped raise leopard and lion cubs on several occasions.
