    Baby panther adopted by dog in Belgrade zoo after mother tried to kill her

    BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) - Man's best friend helped save a tiny cat.

    A 15-day-old female panther named Milica has been adopted by a Rhodesian Ridgeback after the cat's mother refused to feed her and tried to kill her in the Belgrade zoo.

    "The mother panther has killed all her cubs since 1999," zookeeper Dragan Jovanovic said.

    "We believe she has been traumatized by the sound of NATO bombs" during air strikes in the Serbian capital that year, he said.

    Now Milica fights with several newborn puppies over milk from her adopted mother. She also appears to enjoy every bit of attention she gets from her new family.


    I guess war affects everyone :|

    You think Milica would grow up with the psychology of a dog? A dog's soul in a panther's body?

    That could happen.. but a panther's natural instinct would still be there.. maybe not as fast, but just don't piss it off lol

    maybe the mother panther kills because she doesn't want her cubs to be in captivity. rather die than letting her children be in a cage forever!
