Big Ass Lyger Alert
Wow this is a big cat. It lives in South Carolina and now it has a baby brother lyger.
The whole article from the DailyMail is here. One thing that floors me is a couple of stats about this cat:
- Ligers grow at such an explosive rate, piling on about 1?lb per day
- Hercules’s face is 2ft 3in across
- 2in claws are the same size as those of a velociraptor dinosaur
- Like tigers, he also likes to swim – a feat almost unheard of among lions, which fear water.
This means that I think a lyger can defeat a velociraptor. And since it can swim, it can probably defeat most sharks, except for the great white.
I’d be afraid to stand that close to a carnivore that could eat me for a mid-morning snack. This probably won’t end well and I’ll be writing about it at some point.
heh, and I just noticed the leopard print collar on her dress. yeah, this is a cuddlefail waiting to happen.
