มารู้จัก LIGER กัน
LIGER
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.. :o)
