Pigs in a Blanket?
I received these pictures the other day with a touching story about a tiger having lost her cubs shortly after birth in a California zoo. She was melancholy so some newly born piglets were substituted to see if it would bring her out of her depression.
I looked for more information and "snoped it". The pictures are real, but the story is not.
The Snopes story
It seems these pictures were actually taken at the Sirachi Tiger Zoo an hour from Bangkok, Thailand. This zoo is known for antics and displays to amuse the patrons that visit there.
The pictures are delightful, as animal pictures are but we do have to be careful in our internet travels to verify the information we receive.
Take care and God bless.

Wonderful finds, Judy! The pictures tell a story on their own.
Pictures talk to us, don't they?
Thanks for the visit, Icy. Take care & God bless!
My goodness! Usually the piglets will become her food!
Lucky for the piglets they didn't.
:-) Thanks for the visit, Willie.
Oh what people will do for publicity and money. Those characters probably raked in bunches of money. Hey if they were close by I would go see them. You have to admit it's quite remarkable and adorable.
JW, I was sucked in by the photos and the story but once I checked the story out, well, you know..But they are cute! One day the lion will lay down with the lamb.
Take care & God bless.
I usually check stories out too but sometimes, like this, even if the story is untrue the photos are still great.
