My Favorite Animal: The Liger

When I tell people this, they mention Napoleon Dynamite. At some point, I'm going to have to go see that movie.

Here's an article (with pictures) of these beasties:

The one I saw in Miami was about 950 pounds, and it played with 300-400 pound tigers and lions as though the other animals were kittens. It was so big, the mind doesn't believe it's real. You don't expect a cat to be larger than bears.

At that same Zoo (wish I could remember the name) they had a 19 1/2 foot crocodile. Basically, I was in huge creature heaven.
