Lions, Tigers and Ligers?


I saw this new flow of violation at Zootoo Pet Pulse. Nice Job Robin!http://www.zootoo.com/zootootv/v/petpulse540ligerrescuedfrmpett2


Looks like we love coming up with new terms.


There is already a dictionary entry for LITIGON (a hybrid of an Indian lion and a tiger - itself the offspring of tiger and a lioness).


I found a relevant story on another part of the globe...though the news is old ( 4/24/2001)
The male litigon named Cubanacan at Alipur Zoological Gardens, Calcutta, India was believed to weigh at least 363 kg 800 lb. This unique animal stood 1.32 m 52 in at the shoulder and measured a record 3.5 m 11½ ft in total length. He died on 12 April, 1991.
