World's Largest Liger (Lion + Tiger)
This is truly amazing........if its really TRUE (from the looks of it.....i
think it is)

Truly amazing. Look at the Size if this fella. Know what's a Liger? It's a cross breed of a Lion male and Tiger female.

Read on......

The 10ft Liger who's still growing. He looks like something from a prehistoric age or a fantastic creation from Hollywood . But Hercules is very much living flesh and blood as he proves every time he opens his gigantic mouth to roar. Part lion, part tiger, he is not just a big cat but a huge one, standing 10ft tall on his back legs. Called a liger, in reference to his crossbreed parentage, he is the largest of all the cat species. On a typical day he will devour 20lb of meat, usually beef or chicken, and is capable of eating 100lb at a single setting. At just three years old, Hercules already weighs half a ton. He is the accidental result of two enormous big cats living close together at the Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species, in Miami, Florida, and already dwarfs both his parents. "Ligers are not something we planned on having," said institute owner Dr Bhagavan Antle. "We have lions and tigers living together in large enclosures and at first we had no idea how well one of the lion boys was getting along with a tiger girl, then loo and behold we had a liger." 50mph runner... Not only that, but he likes to swim, a feat unheard of among water-fearing lions. In the wild it is virtually impossible for lions and tigers to mate. Not only are they enemies likely to kill one another, but most lions are in Africa and most tigers in Asia . But incredible though he is, Hercules is not unique. Ligers have been bred in captivity, deliberately and accidentally, since shortly before World War II.

Today there are believed to be a handful of ligers around the world and a similar number of tigons, the product of a tiger father and lion mother. Tigons are smaller than ligers and take on more physical characteristics of the tiger. Look at the size of the head on this thing

Binatang ni dipanggil  LIGER (Lion + Tiger). Hasil kacukan secara tak sengaja pihak Zoo di Amerika Syarikat. Terjadi apabila kedua dua parents LIGER ni di letakkan didalam satu persekitaran habitat di sebuah zoo di Amerika Syarikat (kalau tak salah kat Florida). Haiwan ni takde natural habitat sebenarnya sebab die ni kacukan tak sengaja atau pun kekadang dikacukakn oleh mereka yang tak bertanggung jawab (Pemburu haram la kot). Secara amnya liger ni mmg lebih besar daripada Singa dan harimau dan genetik domninanya dalah daripada singa bermaksud bapak liger ni singa mak die harimau. kekadang pun ade jugak kes kacukan serupa tapi dipanggil TIGON (Tiger + Lion) dimana kejadian nya adalah terbalik kepada liger (so bapak die harimau dan mak die singa). So jelas menunjukkan bahawa genetik singa ni mmg kuat berbanding harimau....so mmg layak lah Singa ni digelar sebagai King of the Jungle atau LION KING hehehehehehe
