February 17, 2005 -- Behold Hercules the mighty liger — 900 pounds of big cat that's part lion, part tiger and all humongous.

It isn't that unusual. Lions and Tiger do mate in captivity. If the father is a Lion, the offspring are called Ligers. If the father is a Tiger, the offspring are called Tigons. I've held a Liger cub before. Very sweet to look at.

I have been to a Beatles concert. There are not a lot of people in this world that can say that.

You are part of an even more exclusive club.
