Journaling: Loving Anjana cradles the white tiger cub after acting as surrogate mother to him and his twin brother. This two-year-old chimpanzee clearly isn’t monkeying around, she has acted as a surrogate mother to leopards, lions, and orangutans. Anjana has been helping zoo keeper China York look after 23-day-old cubs Mitra and Shiva at TIGERS (The Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species) in South Carolina, USA. The chimp took on the crucial surrogate role after the youngsters were separated from their mother. She gives them a bottle and lies with them.
