What Makes Ligers So Large?
Can anybody give me a real biological reason why these animals outgrow their parents. I know it involves genetic imprinting but what else?
I read that female tiger sends a hormone that sets the fetal liger on a pattern of growth that does not end throughout its life. This means that the male liger remains in the pre pubertal growth phase and is thus sterile. Is this true or just a load of ****

Hybrid Vigor, the epergenetic impriting is canceled with specie crosses, the controls are alieses this mean the robust morph of the gene expresion is trigered. the sterility has other contributing causes, lots of pathes get block by genetic over expresion,
just like humans some do go sterile, laying around cat naps and even being sterile will have growth and the heaver the lazier they become till the fats push on the mussels and block movement atherities as in people.
