Dang, beat me to it! :giggle:

But yeah, wow, gorgeous and HUGE animals! I forget if a Liger is where the mother is a lion and the father is a tiger or the other way around... the Tigon is whichever is the other pairing of parents is and tends to be smaller than a Liger.

Since 1999 the park has bred its male lion and female tiger many times, producing about 24 cubs.

have you seen the documentary where the female lion who lost her cubs adopted a baby gazelle?she tried ot feed it but couldnt.i think it was on national geo.

Not sure how this could happen unless you're talking about Asian lions. African lions are from Africa and no subspecies of Tiger is native to that continent.

I did see the documentary about the female lion; I was actually discussing it with a co-worker today.

I saw that! I felt so bad for the little gazelle! After the show it said that she tried raising like five more but two died of starvation two got eaten by other predators and the other one got back to its mother, or something like that. Then it said she dissapeared. It was an interesting show though

it's pretty much my favorite animal...
