Liger Physical 

+nathan cotter amen to that, said the same thing.

he's a bit more majestic than you, in all fairness

Well if you don't mind your house to be destroyed and put in cage for the rest of your life, you can keep being envious to that animal.

Why do people assume animals sense of freedom is as complex as humans?

nathan cotter well, she passed away 2 months after this video :/

Yeah, despite what a certain money hungry reality show pretending to be a documentary says.

HATER

+Baka Baka Khan whaaaaat?

Baka Baka Khan what????

Razzlewolfflight eh that wouldn't be a good idea... they'd survive but Ligers have no natural predators so they would completely mess up the eco system if introduced to the wild which is why if one is made they HAVE to be kept in a zoo or some kind of enclosure

Ligers can exist in the wild, although they are very rare. It's not unnatural at all. If it was, she wouldn't have been born at al.

Ugh....I loved Joseph. He was such a handsome gent, and he was definitely one of my fav big cats, along with Cam & Zabu, and Nikita ❤

Henry T Price :(! Soooo sad! Half the animals i want to see are DEAD! Plus it'll take me a couple years for my family to afford to go to florida! AND BY THAT TIME HALF OF THEM WILL ALSO BE DEAD

Henry T Price because of unnatural way of breeding lion and tiger breeding

Well she was very old.... I hope she rests in peace♡

Shivani Malik no because she was 19 years old... that's a really long time for any cat

Rip 😥

Definitely, and she was loved & cared for at BCR ❤

Not advocating poaching, but is it "peaceful" for the animals that get eaten by wild lions/tigers?

@@imgonnawin555 that is nature. That is the circle of life. When we kidnap these animals from their homes and then breed them into terrible conditions it is not nature. We are confining them to a life they are not made for

@@imgonnawin555 Big cats typically do not eat each other in the wild! They will kill each other on occasion if territories mix but they don't tend to eat the bodies.

Is the liger what you would call a chimera? A thing that shouldn't exist but do anyway

Yes it's like a leopard print nose

Big Cat Rescue b

Soups Rarez well, most sanctuaries I see let them roam around as much as Big Cat Rescue.. but most of us should know BCR is one of the *best* Edit: okay I was wrong.. I was only watching BCR and didn’t realize it

Shanks but larger

omg, it does

I know the comment is old, but the size of ligers actually overlaps pretty nicely with that of the largest sabertooths like Smilodon populator and Machairodus horribilis. It might be the upper size limit for a felid bodyplan.

Shanks she really does! Guess it's a little peek into the past, huh?

Shanks Maybe that’s why sabertooths didn’t survive.....

thats good

What we do is made possible by all of you out there who love these cats. Together, we can make a difference. www.BigCatRescue.org

We absolutely will!

But worth it. Every soul deserves a chance to experience life

Freckles passed away several years ago.

Cristobal Blanco you mean a cave lion

You mean long toothed cat

FEMINISTS and SJWs are terrorists your name is... Uh... Ok.

@Michael Ned it was bigger than tigers and lions

Oh well Unfortunately, she has not been with Big Cat Rescue for 3 years now.

Lol

Bro... lol

Moneygetjealous indeed

Big titts

Yeah... But I thought her name was freckle- ... Oh... You’re talking about the human... Never... mind ... (By the way that was an intentional joke)

You morons here for the cats or the lady? Wtf lol.

Yep ligress is beautiful too😉

+Z Rondo It is not common for liger to live long lives like Freckles did. Commonly ligers have a lot of health issues and genetic mutations.

+Z Rondo, I saw the one that claims the experts are wrong and ligers have no issues, but, they also breed ligers and use them to attract people to their "safari". Who knows how may haven't lived as long or as well as the ones they show. Granted, it appears they take care of their animals which may be why they are healthy, if they are, but they are still used as trained animals, not living as the cats do at Big Cat Rescue.

+Bi g Cat Rescue

i love the liger soo unique

Big Cat Rescue I love ❤️ ur videos🐯🦁🐱🐈🐈🐅🐆🎥💶🔬💘💗💜🇧🇪🇨🇷🇬🇧🤘🏽👏🏽👍🏽😽😸😸😹😻🤓😚

+Big Cat Rescue Its so fantastic that you actually give her a chance even though her problem might not seem easy to treat. She does seem to have improved her ability to walk in the end of the video and to be happy and not in pain. Which is basically what her life is about - being happy and content.

+Janellson Since ligers are a mix between a male lion and a female tiger, they do grow longer fur around their face.

I literally like your video

HelenaVanCity there are many things you can do, even if you live far away: bigcatrescue.org/get-involved/

Big Cat Rescue Would a money order from a major Canadian bank (TD Bank) be acceptable? Thank you :)

YEah the mini mane threw men off too

Its because theses are the largest cat species!

awwww

flashsmartpaws She sadly died several years ago.

there are even more hybrids. alot of bigger cats can be mixed

Lord Fabulous Thats really cool. Except they seem to not be healthy. So maybe not so cool.

Vatolicious the thing about breeding these cats to create hybrids is the breeds have been so selective for so long that interbreeding is out right bad for the species. in addition to the genetic and health problems created, the new hybrids lack certain characteristics necessary to survive in the wild, so these animals will have to live in captivity for their entire lives... ignoring the medical implications, these animals are not built to live in cages, even 3 acre cages. The psychological implications are just terrible for these animals. the only way to relieve the psychological damage is through domestication... At this point there are not many animals that we have genetically modified to suit co-habitation (IE: domestication). So far we (humans) have only fully domesticated ONE breed of animal (grey wolves were domesticated over the course of 10000 years to create modern dogs) the second and third domestication efforts are still underway (cats are only partially domesticated, they still lack some of the "human dependancy" qualities dogs presently posess, though they are close. the third domestication project is being "fast tracked" which is the russian silver fox domestication experiment. but the domesticated silver foxes are only in the initial phases of the process and will likely take another few centuries to merely catch up with house cats). all other animals, even those we call "domesticated" like rodents and livestock, are NOT domesticated properly and thus will suffer psychological damage in captivity. Now if someone were to dedicate billions of dollars to a proper domestication effort much like the Russians are doing with silver foxes, then MAYBE in a few hundred years a domestic breed of tiger or lion would be generated that could live in captivity without the psychological trauma of being caged. but even then, a domesticated hybrid liger would STILL suffer from the physical and genetic damage of cross breeding. so in short, this is all really bad joojoo for the liger.

Big Cat Rescue Thank you!

bigcatrescue.org/liger-facts/

still don't see any magic

TheKiter27respawn Think that joke was lost on them ;)

Thank you! At least someone got it!

It made me laugh

yup

stephhowareyoudoingoingpop visitme. fineit visit me movie. tonday visitmy love verryverry"visitme

Because they are well fed

+pyroneutral Just like humans, their skin begins to sag with age.

+pyroneutral A combination of species and age. Ligers have a low appearing "stomach-line" and also cats have not the same kind of connective tissue like humans as their skin seems always more flabby even at younger ages.

because of too much french fries and burgers

tigers have that stomach cuz sometimes they can eat like 50 kgs of meat in one sitting ..so it's kind of flexible stomach

Thank you for your support!

We believe it is wrong.

Its definitely a cool name but I agree it is wrong to breed ligers. Are they as ferocious as lions and/or tigers?

Big Cat Rescue there's someone saying that freckles is already dead, is it true?

MegaMagnus2000 yes she passed away in 2011 or 2012

Lithaldatwin that's so sad =(

It sometimes happens in nature...

Ligers do not happen in the wild.

Well... rather this than mounted on a poachers wall... and possible early extinction...

LionManatic2048 Ligers can't go extinct. They're not a species. As long as both tigers and lions are around, a liger can not go extinct.

Ligers actually do happen, albeit rarely, in the wild. They just generally die very young, and if they do happen to make it to adulthood it doesn't matter much as they're infertile. Of course, this is only true in parts of Asia where they still have Asiatic lions. Ligers bred from tigers and African lions don't happen.

This video explains about our theory for why she does not have canine teeth. Other than that, she had no problem eating meat and still could chew through bones because big cats do not use their canine teeth for eating. They only use them to kill their prey.

Big Cat Rescue oh ok I didn't know thet big cats don't need to use there teeths to chew but I didn't know they use there teeths to hunt ok that's a new thing I learned from big cat.. Oh wait there is a lot of things I learned about big cats but this.. This is new thing I learned from big cat for real I never knew big cat don't need to use there teeth to chew but I learn they only use them to hunt so thx for letting me realize this liger don't need teeth

Big Cat Rescue but still when the big liger lost he's teeths? I'm very confused

Werewolf johny* W12MD* canines are the front teeth on each side. The teeth left in the back are enough to eat meat. Freckles was kept in a chain link enclosure and she chewed on it until her teeth broke.

We did not removed Freckles's canine teeth. Also canines are the kill teeth and not used for chewing food.

Yes
