A nervous half hour
It was a really tense and anxious half an hour for everyone involved, including the hikers and the animals. They were confused about what they had gotten themselves into, considering that they were only aware of half of the situation. These tiger cubs did not end up in this location by chance, and they would quickly learn that this was not the case.
Motherly instincts
They saw that the dog was reacting to the sound of the approaching helicopter when they heard it. However, it did not attempt to flee. It was very evident that the animal was resolved to continue spending as much time as possible with these tiger kittens. The sight of it caring for infants that were not even her own was a sight to behold in terms of its maternal instincts.
