I've seen one of these in the flesh. Because I wasn't very old, I thought they must be quite common and most zoos had them. Didn't realise until I got older that there are rarely more than eight or nine of them in the world at any one time.
It was an amazing looking cat. Even rarer, I suppose, the tigrine part was a white tiger so the liger was a very pale sandy colour with silver stripes.
Ooh, I've seen one of those two. I get weirdly excited to see stuff that is probably really common to Americans like prairie dogs, Virginia opossums, and armadillos.
Last time I went to the zoo, there was a tunnel under the prairie dog compound and a glass dome in the middle so you could put your head in the glass dome and by on eye-level with them without them being freaked out. It was meant for kids but nothing was going to stop me getting in there. :D
What animal do you want in your zoo?

A liger.
It's pretty much my favourite animal. It's like a lion and a tiger mixed... bred for its skills in magic.
