Ligers and Neopolitan
Wednesday, October 13, 2004
Ligers have been around for a while now... but I've noticed a recent surge in mention of these hybrid cats since the movie: Neopolitan Dynamite hit theatres. Still, some think the Liger was a made-up character for this movie.

What is a liger?
A liger is the offspring of a lion father and a tiger mother.
Well what about a tiger being the dad and the mom being a lion?
That would be called a Tigon.
What the hell is the difference????
Well, the growth inhibitors are found only in the male tiger and female lion. So a Liger will not have a growth inhibitor... causing it to grow to a ridiculous size.
Growth inhibitors are essential in helping us maintain our size in a sustainable environment. We all have them. It helps us regulate ourselves to survive. If these Ligers were in the wild, they would have surely died quickly. They consume about 25 lbs of meat a day as opposed to 10 lbs that a regular Tiger eats a day.
Ligers can grow to 12 feet.... that's the size of a Great White Shark.
