With Paper #1 submitted and returned including edits by the professor, paper two is now on the horizon. Please note: "liger" is NOT "tiger" misspelled. A Liger is a rare occurrence that DOES appear in nature though rarely. A Liger is a big cat born of TWO cat species -- a female tiger and a male lion. If the parentage were to be a female lion and a male tiger then the cub would be called a Tigon. The "mythical" creature (liger) was mentioned in Napoleon Dynamite (the movie). When this movie was released, Safair's happened to have a liger in residence named Rocky. Rocky still calls the park his home. He brought visitors to the park from all over the United States due to the mention in the movie and the movie's popularity. If you still have doubts as to what a liger is or if it is real...then read more about ligers by following the links below OR better yet, GO SEE Rocky at Safari's and see a real LIGER for yourself.

That is actually really interesting, I knew they did exsist, but did not know the story behind them, its very fascinating!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed the story... :D thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteOne of the greatest parts of Napoleon Dynamite is when he describes the Liger :D I think you gave a much better description. I have heard of Safari's before your marketing project, but only through word of mouth, reading your posts and learning more of the animals they have and their descriptions entices me to really check it out. As a consumer the more I hear about something like this the more I am apt to go, so if they were to have an ad on the radio to just simply remind me I would go! Hope that helps!
ReplyDeleteLigers are currently the world's biggest cat. In the past saber-toothed tigers and Great American lions were also believed to have the weight of around 900 to 1200 pounds which is exactly like that of the ligers.
