Lujan Zoo exhibits one of the rarest big cat known as liger. The presence of the liger accumulates Lujan Zoo among very few zoos in the world which have ligers. This liger zoo is located at Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is the first and only zoo in Argentina, where you can watch a liger in real. Furthermore; Lujan Zoo is also perhaps the only zoo in South American region which has a liger. The exact address of the Lujan Zoo is “Acceso Oeste Km 58, 6700 Luján, Buenos Aires, Argentina”. Liger is part of the Lujan Zoo for almost 3 years now. The zoo is around 1 hour’s drive away from Argentina’s capital, Buenos Aires. Let’s explore further about the presence of the liger at the Lujan Zoo.
The name of the liger at the Lujan Zoo is Milli the Liger. Milli is a female liger and as of 2018; Milli the liger is almost 3 years old. This female liger was born in 2015; to an African male lion and a female Bengal tigress at the Lujan Zoo. Since; Milli is a female liger, therefore; she may not look as huge and massive in size like a male liger but still Milli stills looks bigger and stronger. According to our research so far; a female liger is smaller than a male liger but a female liger has a potential to grow as much bigger as a male lion or a tiger. Therefore; at the age of maturity we expect Milli the liger to be at least bigger than the lionesses or tigresses and at maximum as big as a male lion or a tiger.
Milli the Liger is very friendly with her caretakers and even to the general public as well. The most surprising thing about Argentina’s Lujan Zoo is that it allows people to interact with its big cats. Therefore; don’t be surprised if you get an opportunity to touch or even hug a liger at the Lujan Zoo. You can even have a photograph with Milli the liger at the Lujan Zoo. When people learn about Milli that she is a hybrid big cat from crossbreeding of lion and tigress, they feel really surprised and instantly want to have a view of Milli the liger. This practice of having direct interaction with a liger and other big cats at the Lujan zoo does look a bit risky but animal trainers are always around to tackle any incidental situation.
All the animals at the Lujan Zoo look healthy and very well fed. Milli the liger looks perfectly healthy which means that the authorities of the Lujan Zoo properly care the animals when it comes to food, hygiene and sheltering etc.. Furthermore; medical facilities are also available at the zoo to monitor the health of all the animals at the Lujan Zoo. Milli the liger shares her grilled enclosure with a tiger. The enclosure looks very spacious for both of the big cats and does seem to meet the general requirements of the big cats. Remember a big enclosure is a basic necessity of each and every big cat and Lujan Zoo fulfill these necessities for all of their big cats.
Lujan Zoo is one of the most popular zoos in Argentina but globally this popularity is not up to the mark. In fact very few people globally know about Lujan Zoo. However; the presence of a liger at their zoo premises can certainly boost their popularity at the global level as well because people will love to see such a rare and unique animal in all circumstances. Furthermore; when people will learn that they can directly interact with the liger, this certain will tempt them to have a visit at the zoo. You can even pet a lion or a tiger cub (if available) at the Lujan Zoo and there are very few zoos in the world which may offer you petting a lovely lion, tiger, leopard or jaguar’s cub.
Apart from global popularity of the zoo another key factor which the Lujan Zoo should be focusing on is the promotion of their liger on their official website and on social media. Right now their official website profiles a lot of other big cats such as lions, tigers and jaguars etc. but it does not profile their rarest big cat i.e., the liger. Secondly; it is very hard to seek their liger on the social media websites such as facebook and instagram etc. And lastly all the information about the big cats at the Lujan Zoo website is in Spanish language. Therefore; only the Spanish speaking community can know what the Lujan Zoo stands for while the international community may never know the contribution of this zoo for the animal welfare.
