Baby Chimpanzee Feeds Tiger Cub (VIDEO)

Looking for some motivation to start your workday? Or perhaps just a little mid-day distraction? A video of two-year-old Do Do the Chimpanzee, feeding Aorn, a two-month-old tiger cub will probably do the trick.

Yes, this really does exist.

In this video, the furry babysitter rocks some cutt-off jean shorts and feeds a bottle of milk to the thirsty baby at the Samut Prakan Crocodile Farm and Zoo on the outskirts of Bankgok, Thailand. According to CBS News, Do Do has been feeding his tiger buddies every day for the past year, although soon, the tigers will grow too big for him to handle. Fortunately, this relationship appears to be based on the chimp's interest in the tigers, but we hope it's not orchestrated for human entertainment.

This isn't the first time that a chimp and tiger have hit it off. Three years ago, a chimp was photographed cradling a white tiger cub, acting as a surrogate mother for the cub and his twin brother.

Unfortunately, many tigers are threatened by deforestation, poaching, and human interference. Fortunately for Aorn, he seems to be well-cared for by Do Do.

Both the tigers and chimp should be in their own environment and not a man made road side zoo. You can bet that the tigers will be sold off for a life of misery and abuse in a circus or sold for their gallbladders to the Chinese. The chimp will end tied up in a zoo or sold off to test a shampoo in Asia.

This helps in our understanding of (Neohumanism) or Universal Family.

I think that if left together they would remain friends. I have a buddy that raised a Cougar and a Colt together and to this day are very good friends!

Did you ever read Koko? Sweet story about a gorilla that learned sign language. She had a pet kitty of her own. Took very good care of it. Was very gentle and loving.

If you have not read it.....get the book. It is very enlightening...and the kids/grandkids will LOVE it!

Keep them in the same cage and in about 2 years you can report "Tiger eats Chimp who took care of him when he was little."
