Its only my favorite animal... GOSH!

No doubt it was bred for its skills and magic.



IS it a lion? Is it a tiger? No, this cute cross cub is a little LIGER.

But the two-month old cub called Oden won’t be little for very long.

Ligers - bred from a male lion and a female tiger - are among the globe's largest cats.

The eight-week-old youngster, who weighs 8lbs, is already bigger than the 12-week-old tiger cubs he lives with at The Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species (TIGERS) in Miami, Florida.

Oden’s five-year-old uncle Hercules, the dominant male in the park's pride of lions, weighs nearly 1,000 lbs, and is 12ft tall.



So me cool Liger sites:
