Good For The Soul: Rawr Edition

Forest officials in northern India say a male tiger appears to be caring for two orphaned cubs in an extremely rare display of paternal feeling.

The cubs lost their mother in February in the Ranthambore tiger reserve. Officials there say they believe the male tiger, named T25, is their father.

Wildlife experts say cubs are usually raised by their mothers and male tigers often kill cubs they come across.

Officials believe there is no recorded evidence of males behaving like this.

Even nature can display mercy.  While tigers face shrinking numbers (I still can't wrap my mind around the idea of extinction) this is a good thing.


Awwwwww.
