Now that's a TEXAS-SIZED kitty.
To: CHARLITE
On a typical day he will devour 200 lb of meat,...Consumes 20% of its body-weight every day? Sounds like a bit of a stretch.
The equivalent of a 150-lb human eating 30 pounds of meat a day. Tour de France racer don't eat that much.

Anyone know if Ligers are fertile? Or are they like mules? There was a liger at the Salt Lake City zoo in the 60's. It was infertile. I would assume ligers are mules.

And when you think about how much this VERY IMPRESSIVE cat has to eat to stay alive, you realize why all those gigantic ancient carnivores got smaller with time.
Interesting that these folks in the pictures are obviously treating this one like a PET. Watch lion or tiger trainers, and even when they're kidding around with their animals, there's an incredible professionalism there.
These folks in the picture have a different relationship with this beast.
There is no fear in those faces. This is their kitten, their pet. And the liger doesn't have that feral look at trained tigers and lions do. They still look like wild animals. This one has the eyes that a pet gets, that strange docility in it.
But it's still a 1000 point 10 foot long MONSTER.
And I still remember how my kitty would sometimes get a little testy and throw a claw at me from behind a chair.
Trouble with a 1000 pound MONSTER with three inch claws is that a quick playful bat-in-passing from this pet will put you in the hospital.
