"A lactating woman in Myanmar has volunteered to breastfeed a pair of endangered Bengal tiger cubs recently born at a Yangon zoo and separated from their aggressive mother."

I'm not sure if that's noble or creepy. Or maybe a little of both. Maybe less creepy if she pumps and bottles.

Can't be any worse than Jamie-the-shark-boy when he was teething...

Somehow I doubt that human breastmilk would be good for them. They do have specific animal formulae because the fat, vitamin, and salt contents vary by species.

I'm so very doing a strange den about this. :)

What scares me is how you have analysed this so calmly, albeit probably accurately.

Still, it sounds a little nippy to me. Sharp Kitty Teeth!

It's a mom thang. Very little bothers me at all. Besides, baby animals that nurse are not normally born with teeth. It's once the teeth start growing in that you have a problem :) Although I am sure that the reaction from one bite is more than sufficient to make sure they never do it again. My kids never did bite me though, so who am I to talk? :)
