Russian dog adopts tiger cubs (Video)

A White Swiss Shepherd dog named Talli is suckling three newborn tiger cubs whose mother Bagira abandoned them shortly after birth.

The cubs - two male and one female - were born at the Oktyabrsky zoo in Sochi. Their mother sniffed them, and refused to feed them.

Workers at the zoo found the adoptive mother for the cubs in Yeysk, in the Krasnodar region.

It's not the first time Bagira has refused to feed her newborns - five months ago a similar situation arose when she gave birth to two cubs.
