Daily Mail | Two white tiger cubs find an unusual surrogate mum, Anjana the chimpanzee
The two-year-old chimp has been helping keeper China York care for the 21-day-old cubs at The Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species (TIGERS) in South Carolina.
“Mitra and Shiva, were born during Hurricane Hannah,” said Dr Bhagavan, founder of TIGERS. “During that time everything flooded in the sanctuary and they had to be moved into the house as their mother became stressed.”
“Anjana has been with China, side by side, ever since she was born and has joined her in caring and raising baby animals … She has raised leopards, lions, orangutans,” said Dr Bhagavan. “Monkey see as monkey do, and she has taken on this copycat personality and helps China raise the animals.”
Now to recover from the immobilizing dose of cute.
Yesterday I saw video of chimps eating a rival male chimp. Maybe it’s not worth fighting for.
i’ve got cute overload for you:

Michael, I don’t know, when animals do things like that, it seems alright.
Alli, yes, I saw that on October 4th and went into cute shock.
