Don't Try This at Home
Seriously:
A Burmese woman is breastfeeding two tiger cubs at a zoo in Rangoon after they were removed from their aggressive mother.

Hla Htay, 40, who has three children, the youngest seven months old, offered her services after the Bengal tiger cubs' mother, Noah Noah, killed the third member of her litter.

The two others, a male and a female, were taken from her and now receive bottle feeds as well as Hla Htay's milk four times a day.

I agree that it is very important that these endangered cubs survive; I just never would have considered human milk (delivered by human mammaries, no less) as part of their diet.
