Yeah, the chick on the left looks like my old girlfriend!
She obviously has a twin out there....

I saw an documentary about ligers on Animal planet or Discovery channel,, and if I remember correctly Sigfrid and Roy were showing one of their ligers. On the documentary they explain why ligers are huge, it's because of "genomic imprinting" or something like that. Cant remember precisely what it‘s but it goes something like this: … in lions, genes contributed by the father promote size and genes from the female inhibit growth .When you do a lion/tiger hybrid, female tiger genes doesn’t inhibit growth, so that’s why you’ll end up with a hybrid that is larger than both parent species.

oh, and ByTheWay:
--"Liger is pretty much my favorite animal. They're bred for its skills in magic."
