How fat are ligers?

Answer 1

http://pics-4-u.blogspot.com/2007/04/liontiger-big-fat-ligertigon.html wikipedia.org Size and growth Imprinted genes may be a factor contributing to huge liger size.[3] These are genes that may or may not be expressed on the parent they are inherited from, and that occasionally play a role in issues of hybrid growth. For example, in some dog breed crosses, genes that are expressed only when maternally-inherited cause the young to grow larger than is typical for either parent breed. This growth is not seen in the paternal breeds, as such genes are normally "counteracted" by genes inherited from the female of the appropriate breed The tiger produces a hormone that sets the fetal liger on a pattern of growth that does not end throughout its life. The hormonal hypothesis is that the cause of the male liger's growth is its sterility - essentially, the male liger remains in the pre-pubertal growth phase. Male ligers also have the same levels of testosterone on average as an adult male lion. In addition, female ligers also attain great size, weighing approximately 700 lb (320 kg) and reaching 10 feet (3.05 m) long on average, and are often fertile[citation needed]. In contrast, pumapards (hybrids between pumas and leopards) tend to exhibit dwarfism.

Answer 4

Stronger than a lion or tiger, due to their immense size.
