The world's largest living cat

Leave a Comment
His name is Hercules, weighs 420 pounds and was considered the largest feline in the world by the Guinness Book of records. The feline-a liger â€" is one of the attractions of the 2014 Edition of the famous book of curiosities and lives in Myrtle Beach Safari, a wildlife reserve in South Carolina, United States.

With 3.3 meters long and 1.2 meters high, this animal doesn't exist in the wild only in captivity. He is the Union of a lion (father) and a Tiger (mother) and is considered the largest cat in the world, coming to have four feet.

The males of this animal are barren, once the number of chromosomes of the lion and tigers are pairs, but females can mate with other animals with similar characteristics, creating the liligre. However, these may have a fragile health.

This wildlife sanctuary was established in 1982 to help several endangered animals from around the world. Since then, I've received elephants, rhinos, orangutans and other large animals.

See two photos of this burly beast.
