The biggest liger at the Wynnewood Zoo is Levi the liger. According to the officials at the Wynnewood Zoo; this is the second biggest liger in the world after Hercules the liger. Levi is a male liger and he weighs more than 850 pounds. Levi the liger looks very huge and he is almost 11 feet long when it stands on its hind legs. Levi the liger lives with at least one female liger and a tigress at its enclosure. Levi the liger is very territorial and he loves to mark his territory and also his animal trainers as well with his scent. Levi has a beautifully trimmed mane around its neck and he loves to swim and play in water.
A huge Liliger named as Baco the Liliger is also one of the biggest attractions of the Wynnewood Zoo. Baco is one of the rarest Liliger because only less than 10 like them are there in the world and he is the world’s only male Liliger. Baco the Liliger is still growing and his exact weight at the time of maturity age (4 years) will determine whether he is as big as a liger. Baco the liger is already 11 feet tall in height and it does suggest that his size will be as big as that of the ligers. If Baco outweighed ligers then Liligers will most probably be considered as the biggest cats on planet earth.
