照我看,这就是花花公虎的下场!
动物妈妈对幼子爱护备至,谁要对孩子构成威胁,她们就会拼命。可动物爸爸只播种,然后就什么都不管了。可见有妈的孩子是块宝。宁要要饭的娘,不要当官的爹。当然两者都有就更好了。

动物界也搞情杀!原配与小叁共谋杀害噼腿男的情节,大多发生在电影或戏剧中,没想到在美国德州的动物园里也上演真实戏码。2只母老虎为了1只公虎争风吃醋好几个月,9日晚间其中一只3岁的母虎发狂,咬死6岁公虎,可说是动物界叁角恋情的惨案。
德州的El Paso动物园内有三只成年马来亚虎,6岁的公虎Wzui,周旋在另外2只母老虎之间,根据园方工作人员事后表示,早在6月份,就发现这几只老虎陷入叁角恋情当中,公虎明显两边都爱,但2只母虎却是处于敌对状态,互不相让,还时常挑战对方。
最近这个月2只母虎的打斗与争风吃醋情况日趋严重,园方当作自然现象没有特别进程,没想到9日下午约4点多,动物员管理人接到通知,3岁的母虎Seri似乎因情绪不稳,发狂咬死6岁的Wzui,馆方立刻下令封闭老虎演示区,请兽医进入验尸,证实公虎Wzui死亡。
园长史提芬马歇尔(Steve Marshall)对外表示,「这种情况不能说没发生过,但非常罕见!」园方决定将2只母虎严加看管,以防止它们会互相伤害对方。
Tiger in "love triangle" kills mate at Texas zoo
EL PASO, Texas (Reuters) - A female tiger has killed her mate at a West Texas zoo, authorities said on Friday, in a rare attack that came after months of simmering jealousy in a feline love triangle.
Three-year-old Malayan tiger Seri killed 6-year-old Wzui at about 4 p.m. on Thursday in an enclosure at El Paso Zoo, zoo spokeswoman Karla Martinez said on Friday,
As soon as the incident was reported, zookeepers closed the tiger exhibit and veterinary staff were called. They examined Wzui, and found he was dead.
"Tragic incidents such as this are not unheard of but we don't consider this common," zoo Director Steve Marshall said. Marshall described the deceased tiger as very down to earth and loving and said it would "be greatly missed."
Malayan tigers are a critically endangered species, with just 500 or so of the animals remaining in the wilds of Thailand and Malaysia, according to the World Wide Fund For Nature.
Both Seri and Wzui were on loan from other zoos as part of the American Zoo Association's Species Survival Plan to aid in their conservation through captive breeding.
Marshall said keepers had not observed any signs of aggression leading up to the attack, and that the two cats had been seen playing affectionately at the exhibit earlier in the day.
However, in June, zoo authorities reported what they called a "tiger love triangle" between Seri, Wzui and a 15-year-old female called Meli, who was transferred to El Paso from a zoo in Fresno, California, in 2001.
"The male tiger Wzui likes both females, but the two females don't like each other," the zoo said in a press release dated June 14. "The girls are jealous of each other," collections Supervisor Griselda Martinez said.
Staff expect that another tiger will be transferred to the El Paso Zoo to replace Wzui for breeding purposes.
