What do you get when you cross a Lion and a Tiger......an amazing animal called a liger .........

February 18: Dr, Antel talks with Matt Lauer (Today Show Host) about Hercules ... a 12 foot tall, 900 pound Liger:D




I saw this on the Today Show and found a video link:
It takes a while to load, just when you think it won't it does..........

...what... No efelumps and woozles? :)

Ligers are cool.

I remember a debate way back when on whether or not to call one a Liger or a Tigon.

LOL Warrior.... no efelumps or woozles, not now but maybe someday:)

I think they finally decide if the father is a lion and the mother a Tiger then the animal would be a Liger.

If the father is a Tiger and Mother a Lion then it would be a Tigon, and Dwarf size.

Big cats are such an endangered animal, guess Hercules is a very real reminder of what could happen someday.

This could be handled in a Roman-esque fashion. You throw 2 men in a cage with the beast, one with a Liger shirt and the other with a Tigon shirt, and the one who is left in one piece after a minutes earns that name for the animal. Although if both men got ripped in half down the middle and the pieces fell to rest beside each other, a whole new spelling could result.

lig
er
ti
gon

It might be a liggon, a tier, an erti, a ligti, or a goner.
