Captive Lion and Tiger weights

@Pckts :

About #282: interesting account... But this felid is the Frankenstein's ghost among big cats. We are living a time during which real big felids (lions and tigers), are disappearing and some guy are making some crossing between different species in order to create a new creature and to get into the World Record Book. "If we are able to do it, so let us do it !", as simple as that... And so what ? Never a such creature will live in wild, it wouldn't be capable of that. It's an aberration and it's sad. Yes, I think it's sad. It the only one word that comes in mind when I think about ligers.

Mary Shelley wrote "Frankenstein", H.G Wells "The island of Doctor Moreau". Now we are clearly able to realize our nightmares. Of course the liger isn't a dangerous animal, just a curiosity, or an abnormality, select the word you prefer... We're playing with the genetic, everything goes well for the moment... But just one time, things can degenerate. And there are also a lot of movies depicting that: "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", "Jurassique Park", "Jurassique World", "Godzilla" and more. To entertain the people, the creatures are spectacular (dinosaurs, apes, giant reptiles), but the same thing with some microscopic creatures could produce a worldwide outbreak.

I stop to soliloquy. Reply
