Ligers (Mar 05)

This picture was taken through the window glass of the bus at the Everland Resort's Safari World in South Korea. It shows a pair of LIGERS (one male and one female), which are the offsprings of cross-breeding between a male lion and a female tiger. The male and female ligers have the face of a lion and lioness respectively, and both have the stripes of a tiger. Ligers do not exist in the wild but result from captive breeding only, and they are potentially the largest cat in the world (typically larger than either of their parent species).

[Note: In comparison, a cat born to a tiger father and a lion mother is referred to as a Tigon.]
