A liger (from a pair of extremely rare "lion - lion" and "tiger - tiger)" was born at a zoo in the city of Kamensk-Shakhtinsky, southern Russia two months ago.

According to the zoo director, Mr. Erok Airapetyan, this "liger" is named Tsar , the son of a tiger named Princess and a male lion named Caesar. Tsar has a beige fur like his father's lion and has many black stripes on a mother-like tiger. Currently, Tsar is being fed with a goat's milk in the zoo.

"Princess and Caeser have been living together for a long time and know each other very well, so when the Princess was in the mating season, she chose her partner, Caesar's male lion ," said Erik.

Adult "liger" species can weigh up to more than 400kg and are one of the world's largest cat species.

A "liger" named Hercules in the United States currently holds the record " World's largest cat family " with a weight of 418kg and a body length of up to 3.33m.
