Summary of the eRumor:
传言说：

Several pictures of an adult tiger seeming to be mothering some piglets wrapped in tiger skins. The email says that the pictures are from a zoo in California where the mother tiger had losttriplets and the grieving was so bad that it began to affect her health.
近日一只成年老虎对几只穿着小老虎“外衣”的猪宝宝倾注母爱的照片在网上广为流传。有人说这组照片里的几只动物主角来自加利福尼亚的一家动物园，虎妈妈因为亲生的虎宝宝不幸早夭而悲痛过度，影响到了她的健康情况。

A search for surrogate cubs was fruitless so the zoo decided to capitalize on one species sometimes rearing the young of another species and brought in some orphaned piglets, wrapped them in tiger skins.
动物园想为虎妈妈找几只老虎宝宝给她做“干儿子”可惜并没有找到合适的对象，于是园方决定用其他动物的宝宝来代替，接着几只没有妈妈的猪宝宝就披着虎皮以假乱真给虎妈妈做起干儿子。

The Truth:
真实的情况其实是这样的：

The pictures are not from a zoo in California but the Sriracha Tiger Zoo in Thailand, a popular attraction that boasts of 200 tigers, 100,000 crocodiles, trained pigs, elephants, and other animals. The zoo features creative shows and displays of animals including these pictures of an adult tiger with piglets dressed like tiger cubs. One of the goals of the zoo is to demonstrate how animals of different species can live peacefully together.
这组照片里的几只小动物不是来自加利福尼亚州的动物园而是来自泰国的拉查龙虎园，拉查龙虎园自称有200只老虎，100000条鳄鱼， 还训练了猪、大象等动物。龙虎园正在录制一档相当有创意的纪录片，其中就展示了这组披着虎皮的猪宝宝和虎妈妈的照片。园方此举的目的之一就是想探索怎样让 不同动物和谐相处。

One of the experiments was introducing baby piglets to a mother tiger (who herself had been nursed by a pig) and it worked. At one time the mother tiger nursing piglets was in an enclosure next to an enclosure where a sow was nursing baby tigers. The zoo says those cubs grew faster from the pig's milk.
纪录片中的一个实验就是让一只被猪妈妈养大的老虎给几只小猪做妈妈，而这个实验居然成功了。动物园也曾经试过把照顾猪宝宝的老虎妈妈的笼子设在照顾虎宝宝的猪妈妈笼子旁边。园方说猪妈妈的奶能让虎宝宝长得更快。

沪江小编:大家以后说猪的时候不要老用“pig”啦~文章中告诉我们...母猪叫做“sow”，猪仔、小猪叫做“piglet”哟~
