Hercules, an adult male Liger (the hybrid offspring of a male lion and a female tigress), is officially confirmed as the Largest Living Cat. Currently housed at the Myrtle Beach Safari in South Carolina, USA, Hercules is a magnificent and gentle giant that stands as a testament to the stunning possibilities of nature. While the reciprocal cross — tigons — is often smaller than their parental species, Ligers generally grow to be much larger than either parent. Hercules’s impressive measurements make him significantly heavier than his already enormous brother, Sinbad.
