Programme about an Australian zoo keeper raising two Sumatran tiger cubs at home.

Here's a clip: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01yzv5k (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01yzv5k)

Super-cute but a hell of a handful!

That is going to be interesting to watch.  Tippe Hedren  in her book called Shambala (also her sanctuary for big cats in California) said Tigers were harder then lions.  That you could bring up a lion from a cub and trust it, but never a Tiger they could turn very quickly even on those who had brought them up from cubhood.
