I came across this post where a dog named Xiao Wang acted as a surrogate to a pair of Siberian tigers.
The tigers were introduced to the dog and her brood after their own mother refused to suckle them.
Keepers at Hangzhou Zoo in China became concerned about the cubs, which were born on November 10.
Often times, Xiao's puppies have to fight their way through to get a suckle of their mother's milk since the baby tigers are apparently bigger in size and have larger appetites.
Siberian tigers are the biggest cats in the world, and live mainly in eastern Russia - although some are found in China and North Korea.
So I began wondering, If the dog could feed the tigers with her milk since they fall into the biological animal classification ''Mammals'', can breast milk from a human be used to ween other animals in the mammalia group?
Imagining it is simply bizzare looool.
