The Calcuta Zoo first tigon was Rudhrani, born in 1971, was mated to an Asiatic lion called Debabrata and produced 7 li-tigons in her lifetime. Some of these reached impressive sizes - a li-tigon named Cubanacan (died April 12th, 1991) was believed to weigh at least 800lb/363 kg, stood 52 inches/1.32m at the shoulder and 11.5ft/3.5 m total length (1994: GBWR "largest litigon").

I will like to make a correction, I was checking these webpages:
http://messybeast.com/genetics/hyb-liger.htm
http://karlshuker.blogspot.com/2017/08/c...-long.html

It seems that the picture of the previous cat, that I belived it was from "Cubanacan", is incorrect. That is a liger from the trainer Josip Marcan and is not the famous Li-tigon from the Alipore zoo. The next image is the real picture of the adult "Cubanacan":

The only problem with those pages is that they state that these Li-tigon was actually weighed, when actually is not the case. It was just estimated at least 800 lb, but it was actually measured.

Hope this help to clarify any error. Reply
