“Hla Htay, 40, a relative of a Yangon Zoological Gardens staffer, breastfeeds a tiger cub in Yangon, Myanmar. The lactating woman (mother of a 7-month-old) volunteered to breastfeed the pair of endangered Bengal tiger cubs recently born at the Yangon zoo who were separated from their aggressive mother. Veterinarian Kyaw Myo Hlaing said they were being bottle-fed along with Hla Htay’s half-hour breastfeeding sessions four times a day, the report said.” (AFP/Myanmar Times)

Thank goodness the cubs are only two weeks old and don’t have teeth yet.
