One swipe from those paws and your guts are on the ground.

I know right. One of dem mother f**kin miracles. Personally I hate house cats but lions and tigers make for great footage on Animal Planet and Discovery.


Seems like it matters which ones the male and which one's the female.

Patrick was created the same way every liger is: A male lion was mated with a female tiger. (When a female lion is mated with a male tiger, the result is a tiglon, or tigon.)

Since tigers and lions do not likely interbreed in the wild, some critics find the breeding of ligers unethical. At accredited zoos "keeping the two species separate has always been standard procedure," according to Jane Ballentine, a spokesperson for the American Zoo and Aquarium Association.
