Chimp Lovingly Feeds Tiger Cub With Bottle

A baby chimpanzee in Thailand has showed off his parenting skills by feeding tiger cubs out of a bottle.

The two-and-a-half-year-old chimp stunned onlookers at the Samut Prakarn Crocodile Farm and Zoo, 40km south east of Bangkok.

Dodo has been feeding the cubs, aged between three weeks to five months, every day for more than a year.

His trainers say they wanted to challenge the chimp and since he showed no fear of the tiger cubs, they worked with him until he picked up the hang of it.

Although, they say, sometimes he ignores his feeding tasks and just wants to play.

"They are cute. They are just a young animals. They play together," said 48-year-old Jakkrit Jakrabatra.

"The zoo keepers trained the chimp, and they also ordered the chimp to play with the tigers."
