And at any moment the liger can go berserk and bite someone’s head off. When will humans learn that it is not wise to fool around with naturally, wild animals?

'he is a cross (Hybrid) between a tiger and a lion thus making it a Liger'
Yes and no.
Liger = offspring of a male lion bred with a female tiger.
Tion = offspring of a male tiger bred with a female lion.

Interestingly, the growth limiting hormone is turned off when the father is a lion and the mother is a tiger, or vice versa, I can’t remember. Those are the big ones.

A hybrid that could never occur in the wild anywhere, unless there happen to be wild tigers near India's Gir forest, which has a small population of the only remaining wild Asiatic lions left on earth. I'd guess this animal already has some health issues do to the un-natural size and will develop more - neither the lion's frame nor the tiger's normally carry that much mass.

Learn something new every day! For example, from your post I just realized that my ex was a Liger!

I'd guess this animal already has some health issues do to the un-natural size and will develop more - neither the lion's frame nor the tiger's normally carry that much mass.I heard a biologist talk about why this extra size on a liger would be a distinct disadvantage in the wild. Tigers are already big enough to take down all but the biggest herbivores in their environment. Tigers can't kill mature rhinos or elephants and generally won't attack mature bull gaur. Although a tiger is capable of killing a mature bull gaur, the converse is also true. The extra size of the liger wouldn't help against rhinos or elephants, so it would have little advantage.
However, the extra size comes with one major cost. The extra size calls for lots of extra calories. Another cost is that the extra size makes a liger more clumsy than a lion or tiger and therefore a less effective stealth hunter.

From the video he looks pretty fat. But hey, who’s going to put a cat THAT size on a diet?

Correct, they can spell it however they want. Big kitties.
