They have a Liger at King Richard's Faire in Carver during the fall named Hercules, and he's young and about 11 feet tall when reaching for food. I always want to ride him.
From Big Cat rescue page on Ligers- *These cats suffer from many birth defects and usually die young. Because ligers are usually larger than either parent, it also puts the tigress at great risk in carrying the young and may require C-section deliveries or kill her in the process. When the public quits paying to see these unfortunate creatures, the evil people responsible for breeding them will stop this inhumane practice. I'm not sure if this is an extreme crazy persons view, or if they had a valid point- but now I am sad to see Ligers.
I've heard that ligers are very gentle and docile. Not sure if that's true but watching that video, I wouldn't doubt it. That thing looks like a horse though. I love it! I don't think they should be bred purely for entertainment purposes though. That's a bit wrong.
Deb: What are you drawing? Napoleon Dynamite: A liger. Deb: What's a liger? Napoleon Dynamite: It's pretty much my favorite animal. It's like a lion and a tiger mixed... bred for its skills in magic
the ligers is not intentionally created or made by artificial insemination or whatsoever, it is pure accident, thus came the liger. plus there are also the puma+leopard = pumapard - although this oone i didnt know the detail. liger r very cute n large. it's level of intelligence is higher than both it's parents.
although, the one that deliberately bred is..up to each person to judge. me, i like them, they are cute. but it is better if they are better took care of n not deliberately only for the excitement+sake of experimenting.
Sinbad was previously the biggest liger in the world. I mean a non-obese Liger. Currently it is its brother Hercules. Hercules is the biggest liger in the world. Sinbad will be the tallest liger in the world. Sinbad has 4 more brother which include Vulcan, Zeus and Hercules. They have a newly born brother as well and soon will be a giant again.

kewl
However, I would pay top dollar to see a ligon fight two male lions, or one gigantic elephant.
