This isn't WTF, this is the cutest thing I've ever seen.

[–]Titan_Hoon 34 points35 points ago

Oh trust me that tiger knows. She is just waiting for them to get bigger...way more bacon that way.

[–]Blue_Falcon 4 points5 points ago

Hello fellow Baconomics 101 student. :)

[–]AlphaPigeon 18 points19 points ago

Why is this in WTF?

[–]Mattogo 8 points9 points ago

If it has cute In the title, it does not belong in r/WTF

[–]VirgilTheCow 6 points7 points ago

What happens if their tigersuits fall off? Nom..

[–]xyroclast 4 points5 points ago

I get the feeling the tiger might still recognize their smell and continue to regard them as children, but I could be wrong. Any tiger experts care to comment?

[–]Lake_George -4 points-3 points ago

Is there a canine biologist in the area? Anywhere?

[–]xyroclast 14 points15 points ago

Canine? ಠ_ಠ

[–]BushMeat 0 points1 point ago

Hello

[–]waspinmyhair 2 points3 points ago

Were they eaten in the end?

[–]EasyReader 2 points3 points ago

Did no one teach that tiger manners? Tiger! Stop playing with your food!

[–]icykronik -1 points0 points ago

nice.

[–]MFchimichanga 1 point2 points ago*

Mystery solved. It isn't dinner time yet.

For some reason I can picture the tiger saying, in Ving Rhames voice, "y'all think im stupid? Y'all think I don't know these are pigs? I know....I know.....you see I just let them think I'm their friend....but come sun down that's all gonna change."

[–]d0n0v4n98 1 point2 points ago

This picture is one of the few things that have prevented me from declaring nuclear war on this planet.

[–]CoyoteStark 1 point2 points ago

I guess you could say she... puts on glasses ...brings home the bacon. YYEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHH

[–]Fransbauer[S] 4 points5 points ago

Source and (some sort of) explanation.

[–]MFchimichanga 4 points5 points ago

Summary! I demand summary!

[–]Enalon 5 points6 points ago

Tiger gave birth to premature cubs, they died, tiger got depressed. No cubs of the right age could be found for her to foster, so she was given suckling pigs. No more depressed tiger.

[–]DeadBundy 13 points14 points ago*

nope the story behind that is another. they let those tigers get pregnant and after they give birth to those little tigers, they will take them away.. and give them those pigs instead only to get more visitors at their zoo. and all those little tiger babies are locked up in little cages, hidden behind walls.

[–]someFunnyUser 3 points4 points ago

this is the TRUE story, up with you.

[–]Enalon 0 points1 point ago

I merely gave a summary of what I read. Would you mind sharing your link to the true story?

[–]DeadBundy 0 points1 point ago

i dont have any links to that, i saw a documentary about it a while back...

[–]MFchimichanga 1 point2 points ago

And what's with the tiger stripe cloth on the pigs?

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points ago

so she thinks they are tigers. Why is this so hard to understand?

[–]captainf 1 point2 points ago

Here's a little extra on the pigs

[–]ojolejano 2 points3 points ago

Fuck evolution!

[–]crashlovex3 2 points3 points ago*

I'm unsubscribing from r/WTF. This is just adorable.

[–]Keiosho 2 points3 points ago

This one actually has a back story. Apparently this tiger is a female and gave birth to tiger cubs who didn't make it. She was extremely upset so they dressed up piglets in tiger colors so she wouldn't attack them and they ended up making her happier about her lost cubs. This story is NOT WTF what so ever. It's sad and yet touching.

[–]DeadlyRed 0 points1 point ago

That Tiger is simply growing the bacon.

[–]Maddihoe 0 points1 point ago

I've seen this posted in r/aww... doesn't belong here at all...

[–]theDrummer 0 points1 point ago

This isn't wtf worthy. The pigs lost their mother and the tigers lost its cubs they formed a strong bond and now we have a Disney movie

[–]AutumnEmber 0 points1 point ago

That's cute, but not WTF worthy

[–]wildstargoethe 0 points1 point ago

WTF is WTF about this? That's daaaaaawww worthy.

[–]justsomeguy5 -1 points0 points ago

This isn't WTF worthy, not by a long shot. However.. I'm really in the mood for bacon. Lots of bacon. Mmm bacon.
