Remember that movie, Napoleon Dynamite, where the main character drew a seemingly imagined creature that he appropriately called a liger? Well, that character is actually far from imaginary—ligers really do exist!

A liger is a hybrid cross between a male lion and a tigress. This hybridization is possible due to parents of the same genus, but of a different species. The liger is actually the largest of all known felines. These animals typically enjoy swimming (a characteristic of tigers) and are quite sociable like lions, making them the best of both worlds! There are legends of ligers existing in the wild, but these legends are likely false due to the fact that the habitats of the lion and tiger do not overlap in the wild.

The liger actually has a counterpart, called the tiglon. You guessed it: this creature is a hybrid cross between a male tiger and a lioness, making it the exact opposite of the liger. The tiglon can exhibit characteristics of both parents. They can have spots from the mother and stripes from the father. A male tiglon may also have a mane, but it is not as prominent as those on a lion. The tiglon is not as common as the liger, but in the 19th and 20th centuries, it was reported that this creature was much more common than its counterpart.

Hercules is a famous hybrid feline. Known for being featured in movies and television shows, this famous liger even had a cameo as a guest on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Interestingly, other hybridizations can allegedly exist in captivity: a leopon, which is a combination of a lion and a leopard, and a lepjag, which is a hybridization of a leopard and a jaguar.

If you’ve ever seen the classic 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, you know that Bert Lahr’s heartwarming performance as the Cowardly Lion does not help the reputation of the lion as being a powerfully ferocious creature. In the film, the cowardice of the Lion was considered so strange that Dorothy was convinced that he could only be cured by the magic of The Wizard.

So, are real lions actually brave? Out on the plains of Africa, some lions courageously protect their territory as well as their family. However, others are heroic only some of the time. Yet researchers have found that still other lions are cowardly enough to always steer clear of the most dangerous risk – fighting with other lions! Therefore, lions are not all brave, despite the public perception that has even put the word “lionhearted” into the Merriam Webster dictionary.

I’ll see you in another life… when we are both cats.

We all know the internet is a beautiful place, and it has been quite good to cats in recent years. We have seen adorable cats get themselves in the strangest predicaments-notably and tastefully showcased by sites such as “icanhascheezburger.com”. “Play him off, keyboard cat” is featured in thousands of different videos. And let’s not forgot the newest meme-The e-dating phenomenon that really, REALLY likes cats.

Though cats are definitely getting some love, let us not forget ferocious lions, noble tigers, and awkwardly large ligers. Indeed, it wasn’t just a clever ruse in Napoleon Dynamite. These creatures get big. We offer a large selection of wild cat books to give you idea of what to encounter in the lively plains of Africa. You’ll be an original cat snob-eventually giving your highfalutin input about the difference between pumas, cougars, leopards, and cheetahs. Though larger, wild cats try to be playful like their smaller domesticated counterparts, they end up getting wrangled and tamed by safari poachers.

Zebras have been fighting for years to achieve domestication and abscond themselves from the wild. They have attempted this by breaking into pet shops and nonchalantly making puppy faces in animal cages, as well as wrapping themselves in gift wrap paper and nestling inconspicuously under Christmas trees. This has made little headway, and mostly left disgruntled families with unprecedented legal issues. The less ambitious zebras stride alongside other denizens of the safari, including elephants, rhinos, and antelope. These creatures typically take pride in their wild side, and do so by posing generously for National Geographic and Animal Planet for our entertainment.

If your best friend is a Koala and you live in a jungle, you probably know more about animals and how to run from the vicious ones than the average person. If you are in fact an average person, our large selection of books and DVDs on wild animals will be sure to captivate and educate you.
