To you, that’s Mr. Mum! Three baby tigers are bottle-fed and cuddled by a gentle male orangutan as if they were his own.
They would be sworn foeѕ in the wіɩd. But now, three tigers and an orangutan make the best of friends in a South Carolina nature sanctuary.

‘Orangutans spend a lot of time with their human caregivers, sometimes when they are nursing tiger cubs,’ the preserve wrote about the unlikely relationship.

‘The orangutans often show genuine interest in the cubs and want to help with their feeding and their cuddling. At both things, they prove to be very proficient.’

And this isn’t the first time that an orangutan has made friends outside of its animal family.

In 2007, a set of newborn Sumatran tigers and two young orangutans got along like gangbusters at a zoo in Indonesia.
