The Liger

The Liger

Napoleon Dynamite told us it's pretty much his favorite animal. We laughed. We laughed at this ridiculous animal he made up.

He did make it up, didn't he?

Turns out the liger was not a figment of his movie imagination.

The liger is a cross between a male lion and a female tiger. It is therefore a member of genus panthera. It looks like a giant lion, with diffused tiger stripes. Like tigers (and unlike lions), ligers like swimming. -Wikipedia

(A tigon is the cross between a male tiger and a female lion.)

Who knew?

i'm surprised that so many people are just discovering that this is a reality...

i don't remember how long ago it was, maybe 10 years ago? but there was a huge goings-on about a liger in southeastern michigan...i want to say it was near sterling heights? but i can't remember.

anyway, schools shut down recess, people stayed indoors, it was this big to-do. am i the only person who remembers this?

i heard it mentioned the other day on a talk radio station in reference to napoleon dynamite...and people were calling in b/c they remembered the incident.
