The unlikely couple met at a zoo in Thailand, where the tiger cub had been rejected by its biological mother. With no other options, zookeepers turned to a chimpanzee named Kham Lha to see if she would take on the role of surrogate mother.

To everyone’s surprise, Kham Lha accepted the little tiger with open arms. He hugged the pup, cuddled it, and even helped groom it, just as he would his own offspring.

The bond between the two animals quickly grew stronger as they spent more time together. The tiger cub seemed to view Kham Lha as its mother and would cry for her if she was not around.

The sight of the gentle chimpanzee caring for the vulnerable tiger cub has touched the hearts of people around the world. It is a reminder that love and compassion know no limits and that even the most unexpected friendships can bring joy and hope to our world.
