Bengal Tiger
Zara, a Bengal tigress, demonstrated unexpected compassion when the zoo introduced a pair of orphaned monkey infants. Initially, the monkeys were housed near her enclosure for safety. To everyone’s amazement, Zara began displaying maternal behavior, lying close to the barrier and purring softly whenever the babies cried. The monkeys seemed comforted by her presence, and zookeepers noted how Zara’s instincts bridged the gap between predator and prey. This touching story became a lesson in the unpredictable nature of animal empathy.
