The reason it's so big is that both lions and tigers have a gene to stop them growing to large, so with one vacant tiger or lion parent this gene is by passed and so it does not stop growing.<br />Ligars cant have cubs so they dont pass on their genes so can only be created with human help. They also have a shorter life span, which is a shame as they are lovely.zarahttp://www.ghostcogs.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4843157625045099797.post-72355030848539954792008-11-05T15:49:00.000-08:002008-11-05T15:49:00.000-08:00ola, amigos. this is so weird/cool at the same tim...ola, amigos. this is so weird/cool at the same time:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4843157625045099797.post-9701137391645082962008-09-30T21:22:00.000-07:002008-09-30T21:22:00.000-07:00This is such a cool and fascinating post!
