A Chinese dog has become the surrogate mother of tiger triplets born at a zoo in the country's eastern Shandong province.
The mongrel bitch called Huani is suckling the tiger cubs, imaginatively named One, Two and Three by staff at Jinan Paomaling Wild Animal World, because their mother rejected them.
Zoo manager Chen Yucai said: "The family is getting along well and seems to enjoy each other."
