It's a cross breed of a Lion male and Tiger female...Read on......<img src="http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/3659/78101498ax7.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The 10ft Liger who's still growing...He looks like something from a prehistoric age or a fantasticcreation from Hollywood . But Hercules is very much living flesh and  blood -as he proves every time he opens his gigantic mouth to roar. Part lion, parttiger, he is not just a big cat but a huge one, standing 10ft tall on  hisback legs. Called a liger, in reference to his crossbreed parentage, he  isthe largest of all the cat species.On a typical day he will devour 20lb of meat, usually beef orchicken, and is capable of eating 100lb at a single setting. At just  threeyears old, Hercules already weighs half a ton.<img src="http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/8481/42581114zs4.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />He is the accidental result of two enormous big cats  living closetogether at the Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species, in  Miami,Florida , and already dwarfs both his parents."Ligers are not something we planned on having," said institute ownerDr Bhagavan Antle. "We have lions and tigers living together in largeenclosures and at first we had no idea how well one ofthe lion boys was getting along with a  tiger girl, then loo and beholdwe had a liger."<img src="http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/7088/81203489kl3.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />50mph runner... Not only that, but he likes  to swim, a feat unheardof among water-fearing lions. In the wild it is virtually impossible forlions and tigers to mate. Not only are they enemies likely to kill oneanother, but most lions are in Africa and most tigers in Asia . Butincredible though he is, Hercules is not  unique. Ligers have been bred incaptivity, deliberately and accidentally, since shortly before World War II.<img src="http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/8862/24695003uf5.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Today there are believed to be a handful of  ligers around the world and a similar number of tigons, the product of a tiger father and lion mother. Tigons are smaller than ligers and take on more physical characteristics of the tiger. <img src="http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/4937/99924496mj0.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Look at the size of the head on this thing.. <img src="http://s.dpstatic.com/smilies/redface.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />) <img src="http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/7467/14138905on9.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> ++++++++++Thank you+++++++++ </blockquote>
