Nope this is not photoshop manipulated. A female polar bear named Pelusa turned purple after she was given a special treatment to clear up a skin condition. This has attracted crowds at the Mendoza City Zoo in Argentina. The fur has returned to normal after a few days.

Dolphins has taken a pink hue in the Pear River Delta situated between Hong Kong and Macau. It is not known why they are pink in colour but several assumptions include the lack of natural predators or the pink colour is a byproduct of blushing to regulate body temperature.

If you had your facts about the Siberian tiger being the largest cat, then you are wrong. The liger is the world's largest cat, a cross breed between a male lion and a female tiger. They exhibit conflicts between the social habits of the lion and solitary habits of the tiger.

The liger is a cross (a hybrid) between a male lion and a female tiger. It has also been known as a lion-tiger mule. A liger looks like a giant lion with diffused stripes. Some male ligers grow sparse manes. Like tigers, but unlike lions, ligers enjoy swimming. Unlike other hybrids, female ligers can reproduce.

A cross between a male tiger and a female lion is called a tigon.[1] This would have referred to the Gir Forest in India where the ranges of Asiatic Lions and Bengal Tigers overlap. Under exceptional circumstances it has been known for a tiger to be forced into ranges inhabited by the Asian lion, Panthera leo persica, which is the same genus as the tiger. Reports have been made of tigresses mating with lions in the wild and producing offspring known as ligers.

A Tigon is the hybrid of a male tiger and a lioness. The tigon is not currently as common as the converse hybrid, the liger; however, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, tigons were more common than ligers.

Tigons can exhibit characteristics of both parents: they can have both spots from the mother (lions carry genes for spots — lion cubs are spotted) and stripes from the father. Any mane that a male tigon may have will appear shorter and less noticeable than a lion's mane and is closer in type to the ruff of a male tiger. It is a common misconception that Tigons are smaller than lions or tigers. They do not exceed the size of their parent species because they inherit growth-inhibitory genes from the lioness mother, but they do not exhibit any kind of dwarfism or miniaturisation; they often weigh around 150 kilograms (350 lb). They appear "housecat-like".

The comparative rarity of tigons is attributed to male tigers finding the courtship behaviour of a lioness too subtle and thus may miss behavioural cues that signal her willingness to mate. However lionesses actively solicit mating, so the current rarity of tigons is most likely due to their being less impressive in size than ligers, with a corresponding lesser novelty value. A century ago, tigons were evidently more common than ligers. Gerald Iles, in "At Home In The Zoo" (1961) was able to obtain 3 tigons for Manchester's Belle Vue Zoo, but wrote that he had never seen a liger. A number of tigons are currently being bred in China.


[edit] History
Tiger crosses in captivity have been common for centuries. The first recorded cross-breeding in India dates back to 1837 when a tigon was presented to Queen Victoria from the princess of Jamnagar (an Indian state). India has a long history of keeping and breeding tigers, especially the "white tigers" now found in zoos around the world. Gerald Iles also referred to a travelling circus in the 1830 whose tiger and lioness produced litter after litter of hybrid cubs, some of which were exhibited to British royalty in 1838.

One of the best known tigons was Ranji, bred by Prince Ranjitsinji of Nawangagar and presented to the London Zoo in 1928. Frohawk, an artist and writer for the hunting magazine The Field found Ranji shy and said The hybrid favors the tiger rather than the lion in the shape of the body and head and it is particularly interesting to note that although the creature is a male, the mane is not larger than that possessed by some tigers and there is at most a small tuft at the end of the tail. The coat, however, is tawny and entirely lacks the reddish-orange hue characteristic of all tigers except those of the colder regions of central Asia. The stripes, nevertheless, although comparatively faint are clearly traceable and the lower parts of the body are whitish as in tigers.

In "Wonders of Animal Life" edited by J A Hammerton (1930), Ranji is described: At the zoological Gardens in London there has been produced a most interesting hybrid between a tiger and a lion. It has been dubbed the "tigon". It is decidedly not a noble-looking beast, is very long in the leg, where the stripes are most prominent, and of a general sandy hue.

Belle Vue Zoo in Manchester, England had a succession of tigons between 1936 and 1968. Kliou (male) and Maude (female) were bred at the Dresden Zoo, Germany from a Manchurian tiger and an African lioness. They did not get along with each other (like solitary tigers rather than social lions) and were housed separately. Kliou died in spring 1941. Maude died in December 1949. In 1957, Belle Vue zoo obtained another tigon called Rita; she was smaller than either Kliou or Maude and lived until February 1968.

In July 1998, the Indian Express Newspaper reported the approaching death of the country's last known surviving zoo tigon. Rangini, born in 1974, resembled a lioness in size and shape, but with a slightly smaller head and jaw and a brighter yellow coat with faint tiger-like stripes. The zoo's first tigon, Rudhrani, born in 1971, was mated to an Asiatic lion called Debabrata and produced 7 li-tigons in her lifetime. Rangini was not allowed to have a mate due to pressure to end the breeding of hybrids. The zoo had also found male tigons and male li-tigons to be infertile. In 1985, the Indian Government forbade the cross-breeding of lions and tigers following a campaign by the Worldwide Fund for Nature. This ended a long tradition of lion/tiger breedings in India.


[edit] Fertility
Male tigons are sterile while the females are generally fertile. In India, a tigon named Rudhrani, born in 1971, was mated to an Asiatic lion called Debabrata and produced 7 li-tigons in her lifetime. Some of these reached impressive sizes - a li-tigon named Cubanacan (died 1991) weighed at least 800lb/363 kg, stood 52 inches/1.32 metres at the shoulder and 11.5ft/3.5 metres total length.

In "Wild Cats Of The World" (1975), Guggisberg wrote that ligers and tigons were long thought to be sterile: In 1943, however, a fifteen year old hybrid between a lion and an 'Island' tiger was successfully mated with a lion at the Munich Hellabrunn Zoo. The female cub, even though very delicate, was raised to adulthood.

A tigon named Noelle in the Shambala Reserve was housed with a Siberian tiger in the belief that Noelle was sterile. The pair produced a "ti-tigon". Ti-tigons resemble golden tigers but with less contrast in their markings. Noelle, the tigon, had been born in 1978 and shared an enclosure with a male Siberian tiger called Anton. In 1983, Noelle produced a ti-tigon name Nathaniel. Being 75% tiger, Nathaniel had darker stripes than his mother and "spoke" tiger rather than the mix of sounds used by his mother. Being only 25% lion, Nathaniel did not grow a mane. Nathaniel died at age 8 or 9 years old due to cancer. Noelle also developed cancer and died soon after.
