Liger was born in a private zoo in Zaharesti, near the town of Suceava in northeastern Romania, Reuters, adding that he attracts visitors.
With a lion for his father and tiger for his mother, a 9-week male chick prosper and in good health, DPA reports veterinarian Gabriel Gaspar, as he says.
Liger’s caregivers were named “Goliath”. The zoo created a beautiful cage for this little Liger, which is also decorated with colored balls and teddy bears. ZOO employees carefully monitor every CUB activity to get any kind of problems, added a message.
The owner of the Private Zoo Dorin Soimar informed about the development and told Dorina Soimaru DPA that he decided to produce hybrid species by combining lions and tigers together because he heard that Ligers were popular with the public. At the moment there are 20 ligers in the world.
In mid -May, the authorities of the environment and veterinary protection checked the zoo after the premature birth of Goliath.
However, Soimaru rejected the news that was imposed on the spot.
Gasper added that since the mother of Liger does not care about her offspring, Goliath feeds with special powder milk and poultry. Liger’s sibling, a woman, did not survive, added a message.
Usually large cats in captivity and wilderness often do not care about their descendants.
Meanwhile, on Monday in West Germany, in the West German city of Cologne, she issued a statement that they were forced to euthantize two lion chicks born last week after the mother refused to feed them.
“It is evolutionary that the Lion’s mother only takes care of the chicks who have the best chance of birth,” the zoo said.
According to the details, the male league is sterile and can connect with a lion or tiger. But a hybrid born from a male tiger and a female lion is called Tigon.
