Dr. Bhagavan Antle also has a very keen observation about the food and weight gain of the ligers. Dr. Bhagavan Antle says that if we shall give ligers about more than 100 pounds of meat in one sitting, they will grow up to 1500 pounds, but then they will not walk very well and will most probably like to sit and such kind of a behavior will not be a normal for a big cat.

He also warned people that No one should have tiger, lion or liger as a pet in the home.
