When hurricane Hannah separated two white baby tigers from their mother, Anjana the chimp came to the rescue.

Anjana, at "TIGERS" sanctuary in South Carolina , became surrogate mom and playmate to the cubs, even helping with bottle feeding.

But here's the truly amazing part... Anjana does this all the time, having raised leopard and lion cubs.

If those photos are real, and you can do a lot with photos nowadays, but if they are real, it's the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life...

I gather they are real, there was an article in a newspaper about it too. A colleague of mine told me she had already seen two pics as the paper chose two, she tried to take a photo with her mobile but it never come out good, so I emailed them to her.

Sue,
Of course you can use them, I doubt they are copywrited as they are going round in world wide email...

thanks for the comments, I do try my best to raise a smile

Thank you I will show my class on Monday I am sure I can get a lot of discussion out of the children, I don't suppose you know which paper they came from as the kids will ask loads of questions and it helps if you have a little background.
