Sai Mai, a 26-month-old female tiger, plays with baby pigs at a zoo in Chonburi province, 80 km (50 miles) east of Bangkok, Thailand on May 7, 2003. The Royal Bengali tigress was born in captivity and breast-fed bya female pig for four months after her birth.
I guess that answers the age old question.. Nature VS Nurture.
problem is: the question is not really 'age old'... this theory is often credited to have been started in 13th Century France. more modern and updated/accepted views have been developed in the last 10-15 years.
if that is 'age old', then i'm jurassic.
