The truth about Ligers. I had no idea....

[Hugh Junit]

I always thought Ligers were an urban myth, or something Napolean Dynamite liked to draw while munching tots.
Here, kitty, kitty....

[Zander]

Yeah, I knew that.

Guess how I found out? Someone made a thread about it.:)

Really?
Oh well.
I'm allowed to be a noob once in a while.

Edit- No thread about Ligers came up on my search.
So put that in your pipe and smoke it, zander!

[Unforgottner]

OMG, its alive, and huge!
I was hoping that when that guy was explaining the Liger's skull, the Liger would bite his head off.

psh, what's this "once in a while" stuff? :p

I know... I searched for it before i even posted that, but I couldn't find it. I remember having the discussion though. Was just saying.

Tigers > Lions

Tigers + Lions = wrongpoortiger

[Dresicos]

I saw it on TV last year...

[bloodreign]

Ok Ok LIGERS RULE!

but the real burning question is......can this phenomenon happen with other species of animals?

True you have horses and donkeys mules.. thats funky stuff.

BUT CAN THE SAME PHENOMENON OF A SUPER BEAST APPLY TO BEARS?

If you took a female polar bear and a male grizzly bear you would get a

griolar bear

or a male polar bear and a female grizzly

a pozzly bear.


Me thinks that this genetic intermingling would result in the birht of the once existing CAVE BEAR!

May 2005, scientists in California succeeded in recovering and decoding the DNA of a cave bear that lived between 42,000 and 44,000 years ago. The procedure used genomic DNA extracted from the animal's tooth, made use of powerful new computing technology developed for the human genome project. Sequencing the DNA directly (rather than first replicating it with the polymerase chain reaction), the scientists were able to recover 21 cave bear genes.

peace.

[Glamdring]

dude, a pozzly bear would kick that liger's ass.

... and then it would run away crying when the liger turned around and got serious.

[Lord Sesshomaru]

you didn't know ligers were real? well like you said, they are. Kinda like how a mule is. Born with too many or not enough chromasomes (i dont remember and dont feel like looking it up) so they are born sterile, just like a mule. So the only way to make a liger is with, like you said, a lion and a tiger.

peace.

looks like we were wiping out species well before everyone thought we did.

[Anarchy_United]

Holy shit, that cat is huge.

[VAMP7]

Tigers > Lions

Tigers + Lions = wrongpoortiger

hehe. But no really it was in the news a good while ago. A tiger and a loin were successfully bred in captivity. the result? A liger!

[_Darkness_]

Yeah, I knew that. But I never really saw an actual picture because I am lazy. Pretty cool.

[WaCk-HeAd]

Wow.

That's a big animal.

How it must suck if that animal turns on you.

Probably even I would have problems dealing with it. Imagine what a liger could do to a skinny little fellow like Hugh.

[stryker]

Me: Hey yeah what do you do for a living?

Guy: Raise ligers.

Me: *walks away slowly*

You really need to stop obsessing about my body, Wack. Actually, you need to stop obsessing about the male body in general. You're probably just going through a confusing time. I can't really relate, but I can sympathize.
It's just getting a little weird, dude.
:)

Yeah you're right. I'm absolutely obsessing about your body.

That little rimpled 40-something year old body is my greatest desire!

I guess you can imagine me anyway you want, or any age you want.
It's your fantasy, not mine.

[dirka dirka]

This is awesome.

[Meliadoul2K]

Nice vid.

[DuBious]

This reminds me of a recent seminar I was in. Genetics fascinates me. Did you know that recently scientists have overcome "parental imprinting" to allow mammals to undergo parthogenesis?

I case that's too many big words. (I know some of you will get it and can skip this paragraph.) Parthogenesis is the process by which animals reproduce asexually. Many lizards can do it. Mammals can't. Both mothers and fathers imprint their DNA differently, insuring that both men and women are needed in the conception process.

Recently scientists overcame paternal (father) imprinting by taking a maternal genome and essentially imitating male imprinting. (They can't outright switch them, they're not that good yet.) They weren't expecting good results, and most of their processes bore that out. But recently a full grown healthy mouse was made. She has already had a functional litter.

[Draquist]

Eh, im too lazy to look it up but Liger is male lion female tiger, female lion male tiger is another type of cat...I forget the name and am too lazy to check on it. The male and female part could be switched too, I also didnt feel like going back a page to check if im right. =)

[stryker]

It's probably a Tion.

I've never heard of one of those though. To google!

EDIT: After a quick search, it's a Tigon.
