What an adorable liger -- I wonder if they're all that docile and affectionate.
I'm more familiar with mules who get the good traits of both sub-species and can be more useful then a donkey or horse for certain activities.
As long as they're fed well and not mistreated, I don't see the problem.
They are still wild animals and seeing them like this may give people a false sense of security around them. A cat that big could kill with one blow. Ligers are born with some genetic deficiencies and it is hard on the mother to birth these huge babies. A c-section is not normal in wild animals and that is what happens many times.
I agree, different species being bred by humans is a sadness. I will appreciate gentle Hercules from a safe distance. If I heard the video correctly (tinnitus is raging today), this Liger will live longer than a lion or tiger.
These bulls look grotesque. I wonder if the beef is tender.
Ick.
