Impressive Weekly Animal Pictures: June 12 - 18

The pictures of a tiger cub playing with a dog at Hefei Zoo in China's eastern province of Anhui, a hungry lioness trying to eat a little boy at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Coloradoa, a fox trying to steal eggs, a bat flying and smiling in Jakarta, and so on are considered as some among the most impressive animal pictures of the week from June 12 to June 18.

This tiger cub is one of two cubs that have been nursed by a surrogate dog mother since the day it was born. Two three-month-old tiger cubs were abandoned by their mother at Hefei Zoo in China's eastern province of Anhui after being born. They are currently being weaned onto solid food.

The pictures of an ambush bug eating fluids on the body of a small fly, a dog feeding her own puppies and two liger cubs, a dog sitting on the front seat of a car with his owner, the picture of two foxes biting and scratching each other, and etc are the most impressive animal pictures of the previous week.

The photo below is about an elusive Highland Tiger or Scottish Wildcat. The animal was pictured by the nature photographer Peter Cairns in Cairngorms National Park in Scotland. Peter Cairns, 48, from Kingussie said that if more people are made aware of this national icon, its future will be decidedly certain. Peter also said that not many people realize the animal exists because it is very rare and elusive, so it is hard for them to relate and care for something that they don’t know about existence.
