16. A Chimp and Baby Tigers
The story of a chimpanzee nurturing big wild cats such as tigers, lions, and pumas seems out of a child’s, but it is. Anjana, the chimpanzee, has gained recognition for her remarkable ability to raise these majestic wild cats, showcasing a nurturing side that transcends species boundaries.
Anjana serves as an assistant to a zookeeper in South Carolina. When tiger cubs Mitra and Shiva were separated from their mother, Anjana stepped in as a surrogate caregiver. Her role at the TIGERS Institute exemplifies the extraordinary bond that can form between different species.
