On the other hand, this training in return helps the trainers to learn more about liger cubs as well. The trainers at the Jungle Island have an experience of about more than 10 years with the big cats, yet they still believe, each day and even at every instant, there is something unique to learn about the bit cats and specifically about ligers, about whom, very little is being explored.
