ligers in our midst
now why don't they have this kind of shit at the national zoo? the baby cheetahs are cute, but this thing could blow them out of the water:
Behold Hercules the mighty liger — 900 pounds of big cat that's part lion, part tiger and all humongous.This King Kong of cats is not the work of a mad scientist, but the product of a rarely seen feline love affair that took place in a South Carolina animal preserve.
"We have a big free-roaming area at our preserve," explained Hercules' owner, Dr. Bhagavan Antle, who is showing off Hercules this weekend at a Miami animal park.
"Sometimes lions and tigers are allowed to go out there and, lo and behold, one particular lion fell in love with one particular tiger and we had babies."
Huge but gentle, the 12-foot-long Hercules is tall enough at 3 years old to dunk a basketball as he rises up on his hind legs.
To maintain such bulk, he can devour up to 100 pounds of raw meat in a day. This intake gives him the massive strength of a lion and the 50-mph quickness of a tiger.
And at just 3, he's a baby in liger years.
"He is already as big as his mother and father put together," said Antle, who keeps Hercules at the Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species in Miami.
"And he should keep growing until he is 7."
Hercules isn't the only Liger in the country. He has three brothers from his tiger mom's litter — Vulcan, Zeus and Sinbad.
Ligers — which have a mane like a lion and stripes like a tiger — are the result of a union between a lion dad and a tiger mom. They are unheard of in the wild, but occasionally happen when the two kinds of great cats wind up meeting in captivity. It is a rare occurrence because there seem to be few tigers and lions that hit it off romantically.
"You gotta have mild-mannered lions and tigers," Antle said. "Normally the lion will kill the tigers."

When I saw this pop up on my RSS reader, I thought you were referring to those beasties from Resident Evil. What were those called? Whatever they were, how come we can't get those into a zoo (from which they will inevitably escape)?
..it'd make a nice rug.

This article is false. Ligers are heard of in the wild. There are only abour 2 or 3 left but they do happen. Also a tiger would kill a lion easily.

This article is false in several points. First ligers do happen in the wild, just very rarly. There are only two or three left in the wild. Also a tiger would kill a lion in the fight. A tiger is bigger and quicker than a lion. These people need to get their facts straight.
