I don't know if anyone has been watching big cat week on NGW, they have a new show on about big cats at 9 p.m. eastern time each night.  Last night they had one about a group of tigers.  I saw something that I didn't think has ever happened.  Some cubs mother died of natural causes and the rangers leave food for the cubs to give them a fighting chance.  I know feeding wild animals is a big no no but they leave the food where the cubs will find it rather than personally feeding them  Given how endangered they are in the wild I can see doing it.  The cubs father found them and instead of killing them he finished raising them.  The person who put the show together had never seen that before.  He even refused the advances of a female in heat when the cubs were physically around.

Aw, that's awesome.  Thanks for sharing.  If the cubs are male, I wonder if this will influence them to help raise their cubs?  That would be interesting.
