The largest living cat is Hercules, an adult male liger (lion + tigress hybrid) currently housed at Myrtle Beach Safari, a wildlife reserve in South Carolina, USA. In total length, he measures 3.33 m (131 in), stands 1.25 m (49 in) at the shoulder, and weighs 418.2 kg (922 lb).
Hercules eats around 13.6 kg (30 lb) of meat – about the same weight as a two-year-old child – every day, washed down with several litres of water.
His brother, Sinbad, is slightly taller, but is also lighter. Hercules has four nephews which were born in 2014, Yeti, Odin, Sampson and Apollo. These are the first white ligers ever born with Yeti being the largest of the litter.
“Kitten wrestling”, that’s a hilarious but perfectly accurate description.
EDIT: I just wanted to add this picture (not great quality, sorry) from early on in the (the last 24 hr) timeline as it made me laugh. San’s kittens - 5 shown here, I think -seem to love playing with each other’s tails!!!
Oh yes, these kittens are almost always chasing tail when I find them!
On another thought for all cat owners and lovers, Do you know what color your cat is?
All cats are some variant of orange or black or both.
I don’t know if anyone ever posted this before but, I found it very interesting!
Fascinating!
