At the end of January, four adorable white tiger cubs were born at the Tobu Zoo near Tokyo. When they were finally let into their glass enclosure, one of the babies found himself in a bit of a pickle— he jumped into a small pool of water, but couldn't figure out how to get back on dry land! Luckily, his brothers immediately sprung into action and worked as a team to get him out as fast as possible. I couldn't believe what they did, can you?
It always amazes me how so many animals instinctively recognize when someone they care about is in danger of drowning. This dog pulled off a similarly daring rescue when he saved not one, but two people from a dangerous tide at the beach! These cubs might still be tiny (and their brother wasn't in any true danger), but they still did whatever they could to protect their sibling. Just like this baby tiger who snuggled right up to a family dog, these cuties prove that feelings of love and care start at an early age in these beautiful animals.
I wouldn't fret about this baby falling in the water again. The pool is too shallow for him to be in any real danger, and there's even a ramp that offers an easy exit! But just in case, it seems like this big feline family isn't going to let anything happen to any of these cute cubs.
