So I went to visit the legendary Liger...

[Niko_Fx]

Yes, I'm talking about this guy:



The animal is HUGE. 950lbs... There was a 450lbs Bengal Tiger right next to him that looked like a puppy. I took some pics and I have short video but I'm having problems uploading it to my pc.

He lives in Miami at the Parrot Jungle Park.

That thing is so cool. No gene to limit growth, so it will continue to get even bigger. I am sure it's even more impressive in person

[NSXType-R]

Wow, that's cool. It's supposed to be sterile though right? What a shame, I could imagine this thing as a new species roaming the jungles.

But tigers in the jungle. So where would it live? Oh, right - in zoos.

precisely my point, I am so very glad that someone understood that. It wouln't be practical in the wild even it were possible. It's tremendous size, and therefore appetite would mean it's demise.

[matek]

whats its life expectancy? as in how many years has it got left?

Pretty cool beasty all you need know is some ghangsta rapper to agree and buy it

[baddabang]

I'm heading down there this summer, I seriously want to go see this now.

BTW that dude next to it has a brass set.

[cmcpokey]

so does it have skills.... like bowstaff?

[Gtek-i]

If only it had tusks like a sabretooth.......sweeeettt

[DesmoRob]

Who's idea was that??

[kingofthering]

hmm.. when I read the title I was thinking about race cars.

[taz_rocks_miami]

That is such a cool animal, how tall is his handler? Say he's 6 feet tall, look at the Liger, nearly twice as tall on his hind legs!!!!!!!!!

If the Earth was still wild it might do OK. But I don't think thre's room left on the planet for it to roam. Definately an apex predetor though.
