5/9/2003: Tiger with piglets

Happy Friday. Normally a tiger couldn't resist chowing down on the great feast of young piglets; savory ham is a fine meal. But this tiger, or I guess tigress, was born in captivity and breast-fed by a female pig for four months after her birth. So she likes pigs!

Her name is Sai Mai, and this is a zoo 50 miles east of Bangkok.

Very cool, UT!
Of course a farmer likes his cows too. Especially when he's hungry.

That's very cool.

Without the accompanying text, I'd have to assume it was a pack of vicious piglets out on the hunt. And they're working in concert to take down the helpless tiger.

My ex-roomate, who's fanatically in love with her two chihuahuas, is convinced to this day that there are bands of chihuahuas that roam around Mexico taking down cows. She's not too bright. Although I guess love can cloud one's vision.

Those yippy little things can be dangerous. They'll latch onto your leg and drag you all over the place

Maybe it's a Jewish tiger.

I don't recall Tigger ever having a problem with Piglet. But then I don't watch that show much.
