Friday Flickr Babe: LIGER!
Who says a Flickr Babe has to be human?

What an amazing, gorgeous animal. Watch the video. Here’s more from the same program.
Karen wonders whether they would survive in the wild. Could they find enough food to satisfy their appetites?
I’m betting yes . . . especially if a gaggle of human tourists are nearby, snapping photos.

BIIIIG kitty!
Not only is that liger not human, he’s a he. But a babe, nonetheless.
It’s interesting that Tigons don’t get that big, too. I’ve read that this is because the growth inhibitors are inherited from the mother lion in their case.
We had our first dead kitty examination in lab, yesterday. I’m really glad I didn’t have to haul one of these out of the plastic bag.
He’s a gorgeous creature but I hate that they are using him this way. I have a problem with people using big cats for entertainment and sport.
