What Is a Liger?
Filed in The Category Answers about Ligers
The liger is a cat born from the breeding of a male lion and a female tiger. This combination produces an offspring with more lionistic features than if the reverse pairing had occured. That would produce a more tigeristic creature known as a tigon. Both are members of genus Panthera.There is no scientific name assigned to this animal because of it’s human assisted ancestory.
A liger looks like a giant lion with muted stripes but like thier tiger ancestors, ligers like swimming. This goes against the nature of a lion but is what makes creature special. It gets the best of both parents. That is not always the case though with crossbreeds. Sometimes the results go the other way and the animal gets the worst of both parents. That would suck! Enjoy the site and I hope you fall in love with the liger, even if you don’t agree with the science… remember it’s not the liger’s fault.
Do These Creatures Called Ligers Really Exist?
Filed in The Category Answers about Ligers
Yes, ligers are the offspring of a male lion and female tiger. The offspring of a male tiger and female lion is called a tigon. Ligers tend towards gigantism and are generally larger than either of their parents, whilst tigons are generally smaller or at least no larger than their parents. Like most hybrids, both are usually sterile, but occasionally a female will be fertile and can be bred back to a male lion or tiger, producing:
Lion + liger = li-liger
Lion + tigon = li-tigon
Tiger + liger = ti-liger
Tiger + tigon = ti-tigon
There is no record of fertile males, so you could never breed two ligers or two tigons together, or a liger with a tigon.
Respectable zoos frown on the breeding of hybrids such as ligers and tigons, as they have no value from a conservation point of view and are taking up space and resources that could be used to breed endangered species. They are basically freaks bred by unscrupulous zoos in order to make money out of people willing to pay to see them.
Today, there is very little chance of them occurring in the wild – tigers are found only in Asia, lions in Africa and the Gir Forest of India, where there are no tigers. Historically, the Asiatic subspecies of lion had a much greater range which overlapped with that of the tiger, so it is possible, though unlikely, that they may once have sometimes occurred in the wild.

What is “token feeding”?
Filed in The Category Cheetahs
I am not a native English speaker and while reading an article about Singapore Zoo came across the phrase “token feeding”. What does it mean? Does it mean that visitors can feed the animals or just watch them eating? It is used in the following context:
The two-hour Africa Hooves and Horns tour will transport visitors via buggy to the Wild Africa trail where they will get to experience the first ever in Asia white rhino feeding session. In addition, visitors will learn more about other animals from the African continent such as the giraffes, lions, zebras, and cheetahs.
…
At the same time, those who are up for more feeding action will be delighted to know that in addition to the white rhino session, there will be token feedings with the cheetah, African hunting dog, meerkat, lions and giraffes.
Can 4 wild animals live in same enclosure at a zoo?
Filed in The Category Lions
Hi, i’m from Bulgaria. A local zoo is under construction and space is very limited. One of the management official says that tiger, lion, grizzly bear and gorilla maybe kept in the same enclosure, because they are all well trained and raised in captivity since birth. However, if you keep tiger, lion, bear and gorilla in the same enclosure, aren’t they going to fight with each other? Or would they get along with each other peacefully since they don’t have to hunt for food? And if a fight is to occur among the 4 creatures, would the fight result in a fatility of one of the 4 creatures? these are not wild animals, they are very gentle and easygoing.

After five years of misery in an all-girls orphanage with only one friend, twelve-year-old Alyssa Norris discovers her new power to make animals speak. When a zoo truck stops near the orphanage, a monkey invites her to escape to Africa to live with a family. Alyssa agrees to go, flees Canada, and arrives in Tanzania, where she meets the family. After she disobeys a demand, the family punishes her and temporarily leaves Alyssa all alone. Luckily, a friendly cheetah suggests a tour of the landscape. Alyssa agrees and encounters many intense, risky, and wild surprises with the zoo truck animals.
