Surely I’m not only one can see this is PhotoShopped or the cat is nearer the camera. Sorta like those Hogzilla pics
Do some research.
Ligers are larger than both parent species because of a quirk of genetics. Tigers inherit the size restriction genes from the male, lions from the female. Thus ligers, the result of a tigress bred to a male lion, are larger and tigons, the result of a lioness bred to a male tiger, are average to smaller, inheriting at least one functioning gene to control their growth.
Thank you for the sanity. All these “largest animal” photos are suspicious imo.
