    I heard the lion man was trying to breed ligers from lion Chaka and tigeress Shanti.

    Shanti is a white tigeress and Chaka's dad Gandor is a white lion so I guess the result will be white ligers!!!

    well that's good news -- another endangered species for him. "Come and see the white ligers; extinct in the wild!"

    Dear Mark

    No, unfourtunately I don't know if this is a fact

    My information comes from watching the lionman show on which Craig refers to the two animals (Chaka and Shanti) as boyfriend and girlfriend.

    I'm sorry if I have offended anyone with my lack of knowledge...my bad!

    is a bit different from
    however, I certainly wouldn't be surprised if that was in fact the case. Although I vowed never to watch his programmes again, I was actually going to try and stomach this latest series for the benefit of the overseas members here -- but I still haven't been free to watch any of the episodes, and I think its up to episode four or five now?

    Hi Sam, As Zooboy has said we just cant say anything on here so lets try and just keep to as many facts as possible :), also why dont you tell the members something about yourself, what animals do you like or zoos you have been too :) that sort of thing, Cheers

    Never mind it's a little hard for me to describe,


    Are Ligers more popular than Tygons? If so is it because of their size? Or is it because of something else.

    Man's deadliest Foe??? WTF???? I think someone needs to stop drinking thier bong water. . . . It is illegal, in atleast NSW and I'd say most other states to intentionally breed tigons or ligers. . . . NOT COOL MAN!!!

    you do know the Lion Man's zoo isn't in NSW right?

    anyway, check out the fifth picture down on this page of the anti-liger site, massive animal!
    Pictures of ligers

    you can't fight the truth...

    Yeah I do. . . that was more information for dragon dude, to show that ligers and tigons are not generally accepted.
