It's a lion & a tiger, and man is it huge!

 

Lion + tiger = liger.

The result of that equation is a 10-foot-long, 900 pound freak of nature named Hercules that is fast becoming one of Miami's hottest attractions.

"It's not something you see every day," said big cat breeder Dr. Bhagavan Antle. The spawn of a daddy lion and a mommy tiger, Hercules is a rarity indeed - just one of about a dozen ligers in the world, said Antle.

"They are not very common," added Dr. Patrick Thomas, curator of mammals at the Bronx Zoo. "They don't mate in the wild."

Antle, whose liger has been wowing crowds at Miami's Parrot Jungle Island attraction, said Hercules was a happy accident: "We just happened to have a male lion and a female tiger in the same compound and they fell in love."

Hercules sports his father's mane and his mother's stripes. He roars like a lion and swims like a tiger (lions loathe the water).

"He's already bigger than his parents and he's still growing," Antle said. "I expect he'll be 12-feet long and weigh 1,000 pounds when he's fully grown."

izbagovao sam se, čitam lion and tiger a kapiram slon i tigar i siguran sam da je ovo neki hoax.. :)

ali ladno ima grivu i voli vodu..

ne mora da bude hoax. lavovi i tigrovi se mogu pariti u zarobljenistvu, kad im nista drugo ne preostane ali se radjaju sterilni potomci, poput potomaka konja i magaraca - mula i mazgi.

evo par drugih slika ligrova (ili lagrova)

sve se velike macke mogu medjusobno pariti...bash bih voleo da vidim kombinaciju lava i sneznog leoparda.

btw, kad smo vec na temi ukrstanja medju vrstama, postoji pricha kako je nekadasnji SSSR, tokom 30-tih i 40-tih, dakle za vreme ludog Staljina, imao u gruziji institut za istrazivanje tropskih vrsta a jedan od najludjih ideja na kome su radili je bilo ukrstanje coveka sa primatima da bi se dobio supercovek, pa su placali ljude da imaju seks sa zenkama gorila.... nista se nije izrodilo

It's nice to be good, but it's nothing compared to being bad

SVI tigrovi vole vodu

pored lajgera postoje i tajgoni tj kao mazga i mula bitno je koja vrsta je otac, a koja majka...

finaly - 10 foot long? [cs*]to je 3 metra[/cs*] u chemu je onda problem kada se zna da muzhjaci sibirskih tigrovi rastu i preko 4.5m?

*cs=cheaperseaters ;o)

4.5m?! brate, sta je to? medjed?:)

zar ne idu tigrovi do 3.5m ili tako nesto, i to bas ako ih usere?

nisam ni obratio paznju na mere, video sam onu slicku sa ona dva ortaka i skroz je veliki...

tajgon - rofl, pa to, zato sam ja mislio da je ono dizelovo:)

ko je rekao da tigrovi ne vole vodu?

mada kole, ti si mi nesto sumLJiv oko zivotinjskih mera:), secam se za onog medjeda (koji je bio i na tv i to vise puta, kao i u novinama) da si pricao da je malecki...ne razumem se preterano u mede, ali ako je 5.5 metara malo za medu koji se uspravio na zadnje none, onda ne znam, its a whole new world to me:)

brate sto ti ne smuvas miu? realno 5 min da provede sa tobom bila bi ready za guraj-vadi. :)

opstanke sam gledo kad sam bio mali, a sad gledam animaux i animal planet:)

onda postoji vise izvora informacija koji se dosta razlikuju, ne kazem da nisi u pravu, samo sam ja cuo drugacije...tipa tigrovi ako su baje dodju do 3.5m sa repom. za medvede nisam siguran, ali evo gledam moj plafon koji je 2.60, to je znaci manje od pola medjeda i mnogo mi je zajebano da zamislim tolkog medu:)

brate sto ti ne smuvas miu? realno 5 min da provede sa tobom bila bi ready za guraj-vadi. :)

pa toeretski lakshe bi im bilo sa lavicama =o))

ono, manje su za 30% =o))

no taj afrika/azija problem jeste najvetji...

pre nije bilo tako. I danas lavovi zive i u indiji, a pre su bili omiljena lovina persijskih kraljeva...tako da su nekada lavice i tigrovi mogli da iskusaju zabranjenu ljubav
