The Enigmatic Liger: Nature's Remarkable Hybrid of Lion and Tiger

The liger, a majestic hybrid of lion (Panthera leo) and tiger (Panthera tigris), is renowned for its immense size, often growing up to 12 feet tall on hind legs and weighing between 700 to 900 lbs. Found exclusively in zoos due to their inability to reproduce, ligers display both tiger and lion traits, enjoying swimming and socializing. Their diet includes various large mammals such as zebras and giraffes. Ligers are non-aggressive and typically live for around 35 years, establishing a friendly rapport with humans.
