My blog. My blog will be about rare and strange animals. These will include hybrids and crossbreeds of animals






My first post will be about cross breeds of Animals.


The first animal I will look into is a Liger. A Liger is animal with a male lion as a father and a female tiger as a mother. This means they are hybrid of species. Ligers are the largest cats in the world. They can grow to be 10ft in height. Liger are very mobile for there size. They can run up to 50 miles per hour. Ligers do not exist in the wild because the habitats do not overlap in the wild. This means it is impossible for a liger to breed naturally in the wild. This means all ligers in the world live in captivity. There are about 30 ligers living in the world
