An Affable Orangutan Plays the Role of Loving Nanny to a Trio of Rambunctious Baby Tigers

An affable orangutan at the Myrtle Beach Safari and Preserve in South Carolina, plays the role of loving nanny to a trio of adorable but rambunctious baby tigers who in turn, seem to be having a wonderful time with their simian babysitter.

Orangutans’ arms are well suited to their lifestyle because they spend much of their time (some 90 percent) in the trees of their tropical rain forest home. So what could possibly bring these beautiful creatures to the forest floor? How about some playful, hungry tiger cubs.
