Three one-month-old white tiger cubs in a wildlife park in China have found an unusual surrogate mother.
中国野生动物园区三个月大的白色幼虎，找到一位不寻常的奶妈。

This dog is nursing the three furry cubs in the northwestern Xinjiang region.
这只狗正在西北新彊地区照料三只毛绒绒的幼虎。

The dog adopted them after the cubs' biological mother rejected them after giving birth.
