Wife just forwarded an E-mail story on to me (and a few of her friends) with the pictures below. Of course the first thing I did was check snopes, and indeed the story she passed along was bogus. Story said something about the tiger cubs all dying and the mother tiger getting depressed and the zoo was having trouble finding a replacement, etc.

But the pics are legit (http://www.snopes.com/photos/animals/tigerpig.asp)

Tiger was obviously either trained to tolerate the pigs, or was just simply not hungry at the time.

The associated article (on Snopes) explains this. It's really quite interesting. :)

Are those the baby tiger skins they put on the pigs to convince the mother tiger they were her young?
