Meanwhile, Hercules, the world's biggest cat, is an uncle to the white cat brood, Daily Mail reported. Nonetheless, there is a very tiny possibilty of a white lion and white tiger meeting in the wild and producing an offspring. There are approximately 1,000 ligers in the world - mostly in captivity - but none of them are white. Bhagvan Antle and his team were successful in producing the beautiful little creatures. Producing a liger is a critical cross-breeding operation. Brought together at Myrtle Beach Safari in South Carolina, they have produced the first ever white lion-tiger hybrids - commonly known as ligers. There are only around 300 white lions and 1,200 white tigers left on the planet, so the cubs' father Ivory and mother Saraswati are extremely rare in their own right. Four of a kind, they could grow to be the biggest cats in the entire world, OMG Facts reported. The result? The birth of the world's first-ever white ligers.Ĭute and very innocent, Apollo, Samson, Yeti and Odin are unaware of their extreme uniqueness.
I am sorry to inject some killjoy reality into the white liger party.Rarer than rare! An uncommon white tiger mated with an even more scarce white lion. I find them cute like anyone else but I don’t agree with selective breeding of inbred cats for commercial reasons. Yeti may beat Hercules in weight and size. Their uncle is/was (is he still alive?) Hercules, a whopping 922 pound liger and the world’s largest cat. Yeti, Odlin, Sampson and Apollo are the world’s first ever white lion-tiger hybrids – or ‘ligers’. Browse 2,606 black and white tiger stock photos and images available, or search for black and white lion or black and white animals to find more great stock photos and pictures. There are 1000 ligers in the world apparently. They were brought together ( selectively bred) by the organisers of the business The parents are Ivory, the white lion, and Saraswati, the white tiger. This is a highly commercialised big cat business. They are at the South Carolina tiger sanctuary, Myrtle Beach Safari. It is also strange that I have only today bumped into this story which emerged in Jan 2014!
It is a really nice photograph by Barry Bland of Splash News. The best picture is the one of the parents snuggling. The other three are Odlin, Sampson and Apollo (not necessarliy in that order!).
