Chimp, White Tiger Become Best Friends (PHOTOS)

THIS cute chimp isn't just a primate - she is this baby tiger's BEST mate.

Loving Anjana cradles the white tiger cub after acting as surrogate mother to him and his twin brother.

And the two-year-old chimpanzee clearly isn't monkeying around, she has also raised LEOPARDS and LIONS.

Chimps are not monkeys, they are apes.

Editors-- accuracy matters!

There will come a day when this relationship will change. I am reminded of my favorite childhood Ogden Nash poem:

Algy met a bear,

The bear was bulgy,

The bulge was Algy.

Adorable! Go to the slideshow as well and see the smile on the proud "mama's" face.

Please don't let anybody let Palin see these two. She might get her rifle and helicopter.

Wait about 8 to 12 months and the chimp can potentially become lunch for the tigers. Hope not.
