I was also thinking of that. What if one of the pig loses that cover ..:smile:
 
The real question is why the tiger wasn't dressed up like a pig...

Because the baby tigers would kill and eat it. Duh!

There pictures were taken at a zoo in Thailand. They take baby animals from their mothers and let animals of other species wet-nurse them so the animals grow up tolerating one another. The do it because the cross-species displays are popular with visitors and they make a lot more money. The tigress and her siblings were nursed alongside piglets with an adoptive pig mother.
 
That's a great way to keep food fresh. Mmmmm, pigs in a blanket.
 
My favorite is the 5 piglets laying on the tiger.

Probably the tiger's favorite too. There's nothing like a quick snack the moment you wake up! :biggrin:

I liked that picture the best also.
