Hercules

Hercules, the world's largest cat, is a liger. A liger is produced by breeding a male lion and a female tiger. The offspring grows to be larger than either parent. Ligers do not exist in the wild they are only bred in captivity. The opposite cross of a male tiger and a female lion is called a tigon. Here is a page of multiple pictures of both of these beautiful animals.

OMG these cats are gorgeous! Hercules looks very well fed, but then I'd keep him well fed too if I had to go into his cage at all!

Just what the world was missing: a useless apex predator. Or... have we, suddenly, become overstocked with zoo keepers?

With the rate they´re being killed off in the wild ANY big new cat is a welcome addition.
