Sriracha Zoo, Chonburi, Thailand: Tiger Cubs and Piglets
Posted by Viola Woolcott
Amazing! … and quite cute, except for the pig being confined to an uncomfortable cage. The babies can’t even get to her properly. And the bars under their feet. Looks painful.
At Sriracha Zoo in Chonburi, in Thailand. Visitors state it’s a bizarre sight. To me not such a bizarre sight at all. They love and accept each other, so what’s wrong with tiger cubs suckling a sow and piglets playing with a fully grown tiger?
Sriracha Zoo in Chonburi, is Thailand’s most successful tiger-breeding zoo. The zoo discovered that tiger cubs nursed by pigs grew up calm, un-aggressive and more suited to life in captivity. The zoo’s 300 Bengali tigers are all raised this way.
Next time you are in Thailand, make a point of going to “Sriracha Zoo” in Chonburi. You won’t regret it!
