Title: incredible fact of the day
Post by john_d on Mar 3rd, 2005, 4:06pm
If you cross a male lion with a female tiger, you get a new animal called a liger.

Ligers can have both the stripes of a tiger and the mane of a lion, but they also grow almost twice as large as either animal.  Ligers also like to swim like it's tiger parentage (unlike lions).

Stripes and a mane...

Huge!

Are ligers cool or what?

also of note, If you mated a male tiger with a female lion,  you get a tigon which is smaller than both a lion and a tiger.

What up Napolean Dynamite?!?

I swear, I thought all his talk about ligers and tigons was total crap, you know, just funny stuff for the movie.  Then the other day I saw a picture of one of these on TV.  And now, I have these pictures.  Weird.

I wonder what they are breeding them for and if they plan to release them into the wild somewhere, but... not in my backyard.   :o

Ligers and tigons and bears.

I crossed a sheep with a goat and called it a shoat, a kangaroo with a possum and called it a kossum, a pheasant with a duck and called it Don.
