Hla Htay, 40, has taken responsibility for two Bengal tiger cubs by breast-feeding them daily. Three times a day, Htay, mother of a seven-month-old baby boy, goes to the Yangon zoo where she holds 45-minute breast-feeding sessions for the animals, rejected by their natural mother. "The cubs are just like my babies," Hla Htay told Fuji TV as one of the baby cats suckled her breast. In mid-march, three cubs were born at the zoo. The mother killed one and refused to nurse the others. After many numerous, unsuccessful attempts to bottle feed, veterinarians decided to try breast-feeding. "They had some difficulties sucking the nipple on the bottle. When we tried to get the cubs to suck a lady's breast, it was alright," said a veterinarian. The zoo has said the sessions will stop by the end of April or when the tigers start teething.
