Snopes is an awesome site! I go there all the time to show people who send me chain emails how dumb they are.

I watched a special on Discovery that featured the Liger as well as the Tigon, really something.

One of the neatest experiences I've had was being about 3 ft from an uncaged tiger that the trainer (a gal no less, 120lbs sopping wet if that <g>)was walking thru the animal park and I was amazed then at how large a regular tiger is up close, and the liger dwarfs it. Couldn't imagine being close to one of those. :)

are ligers actually bigger than tigers. That doesn't make sense. Since ligers are mix between tigers and lions, and most tigers are already bigger than lions, then doesn't it seem that ligers would be same or smaller than tigers?

What's the diff between liger and tigon.

My friend went to a marine park in Hawaii, and said he got to pet a wolphin. No joke.

heh yeah sounds like simple math to me

[size=4]Big[/size] + [size=1]small[/size] = [size=6]REALLY BIG[/size]

Ligers = Male lion + Female tiger

Tigons = Male Tiger + Female Lion



My aunt is 5'3".. my uncle is 5'10"... my cousin is 6'7". I think things like this just kind of happen. I dont think the size of the parents will always determine the size of the offspring.

some 18th century geneticist (a monk too) found out that it was always a generation away (meaning the grandkids) that traits showed themselves. he found this out by breeding pea plants of different traits.

(saw it on bill nye)

though that doesn't apply to the liger issue. those are just huge!

Blimey! You come here looking for tips on compression ratios, and you get Mendelian Genetics!

Now that's what I call a forum.

I've heard so many differing opinions. My one friend hated it, my other friend liked it. My wife and I were red-faced from laughing through the entire movie. I just remember kids like that, and he was the embodiment of all nerds I knew growing up.

I mean the Trapper Keeper, the Moon Boots, talking about nun-chucks and karate and warriors, the glamour shots, the time machine (set to 1982, of course!)...I just thought it was a riot!

I haven't seen it yet, but I have heard nothing but how funny it is...it sounds like a good throwback movie...HEY, I had moon boots once!

Oh, and they ain't nun-chucks, they are nunchakus. :-)

*rolling on floor at Tadpui*

XTC, yes you are the only person I've heard who didn't like that movie. I mean, I guess there's not really much plot, but Napoleon and his antics carry it regardless, in my opinion.

I have a couple friends that insist that I need to learn the dance sequence, cuz they say it reminds them of me. *laughs nervously*

The very same friend of mine that liked ND talked about Cabin Boy for about a year...when I finally sat to watch it with him, I don't think that I even made it 1/2 hour into it. Well, at least it had Andy Richter in it :)

The liger is a hybrid cross between a male lion and a tigress .In Animal Life and the World of Nature .you earn donations for your favorite nonprofit around 10 surviving ligers in the world, with adult ligers capable of growing much larger than average lions. Some animal groups hybridize better than others. their fertility is often in question and as to the best of my knowledge.
