Nice bacon strips
 
Haha, that's great.
 
The real question is why the tiger wasn't dressed up like a pig...

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.
