Photo Gallery The Tiger Puppies
An unusual wet-nurse: Yekaterina Khodakova's Shar Pei Cleopatra feeds Plyusha and Clyopa, the Siberian tiger cubs.
Step-siblings: Pictured here, Siberian tiger cub Plyusha and Shar Pei puppy Fighter play in Khodakova's house.
Snack time: Cleopatra takes as nap as Clyopa, (or is it Plyusha?) feeds.
The Siberian cubs have another cat (albeit a housecat) to keep them company. Here, Clyopa (left) rubs heads with Masyanya (right).
Pictured here with her son Gleb and her pets, Yekaterina Khodakova says that she is not afraid that the tigers will bite her son.
Bed time: Clyopa and Fighter prepare to snuggle down.
Something catches the attention of Clyopa and Masyanya as they gaze into the distance.
A house of youngsters: Gleb sits on the stairs with his bottle as Clyopa climbs past him.
Every day is play day in the Khodakova household. Pictured here, Plyusha and Fighter.
At first Cleopatra was hesitant to feed the tiger cubs, but then she relented.
Fighter and Plyusha play. The step-siblings will be separated when the cubs are returned to the local zoo at the end of the month.
