Hi! This video is quite good. Might I suggest though that you make the part with the tiger a bit longer... add more pictures to it or even video footage. The song is just starting to take off and it ends. I would like to use this in my classes and it would be that much more effective/powerful if it was about 30 seconds or so longer.

Overall though, I want to say that it is well done. The reason why I ask for it to be longer is for reflection. While the music plays the mind is reflecting.

interesting idea. at the time i made the video, well over a year ago, they were the only pictures i had. and i haven't seen any more since. while it can probably be improved, im disinclined to remake the video at this stage. but thank you for the suggestion

I agree with Jacklynd. The zoo is not somewhere in California and the tiger did not give birth to rare set of cubs that died. The zoo is Bangkok and the zoo keepers switch the piglets and cubs. The piglets were placed with the tigress and the cubs were given to female pig. The story of the tigress getting depress over loosing her cubs and adopting piglets is touching but it NEVER happened. It was all planned by the zoo keepers to amuse and entertain zoo visitors.

ah ok, thanks for telling me. i didn't know. i just received it in an email and thought it was cute, so i put it in a video. i guess i shouldn't automatically assume that if i get an email the information is correct, but i didn't think there was any reason for it to be made up.

that whole thing about the tiger and piglets isnt true the zoo only brought the pigs in for entertainment purposes.

there were several false news stories about this saying that she was depressed about loosin her cubs so they gave her piglets.

its still cute though.

yeah i didn't know that, i just got an email about it and i thought it was cute, so i made the video. i just assumed that it was correct - why do people have to make stuff up!?!? lol it just makes things harder for everyone. i don't have time to check for references and sources all the time! lol

That tortoise will probably still live older than the hippo even being a 100yrs old. They live to be old mother fuckers!

You did a great job w/ this! i agree w/ one of the comments re: the tiger part -- would love to see more pics. : ) You'll have to do more videos ... spin-off stories, maybe not mother versions, but other surrogate situations ... i know there is one about a spaniel and an owl out there.
