Liger
The liger is the exact opposite of the tigon, coming into existence when a male lion breeds with a female tigress. Since these two animals do not naturally inhabit the same habitats, their offspring are artificially conceived.
This huge animal does appear intimidating – ligers are the biggest cats in the world. Their growth rate is high and they can grow massive in size even compared to both tigers and lions. The picture above is of a liger named Hercules, who is the largest existing cat weighing 490 kilograms (or 940 pounds). That is HUGE!
