Liger - video powered by Metacafe

But an exception is possible though: the one and only animal few have heard about before. It is called Liger, and it is a bizarre and rare combination of a tiger female and a lion male. Check out this video to convince yourself!

A liger resembles a giant lion with diffused stripes. They are the largest cats in the world, although the Siberian Tiger is the largest pure breed. Like tigers, but unlike lions, ligers enjoy swimming.

Ligers grow much larger than lions and even larger than the largest tigers, which can weigh in excess of 437 kg (976 lb). The largest non-obese Liger, known as Hercules is said to weigh over 544kg (1200 lb), well over twice the size of a male lion. Hercules was also featured in Maxim magazine article in 2005, when he was only 3 years old and already weighed 408 kg (900 lb) at the time. The liger is the largest animal in the cat family. feline family Felidae.

Neat. Looks like they'd make great pets. That thing would use my whole apartment as a litterbox.
