9/16/2005: Tiger mates with lioness

Happy Friday!

IotD pretty much figures on not bringing you porn - because you can surely find that if you look for it, this is the Internet. But as in the whale penis, sometimes it's necessary. What you see there is an extremely rare photo - a tiger will screw a lioness, but it's rare and not often photographed. This particular grind happened in a safari park in China. She has a nice expression on her face, don't you think?

As Napoleon Dynamite said, "The liger - it's pretty much my favorite animal." And a few weeks ago somebody suggested this shot of an actual liger, which waited patiently for its Friday shot, but this surely eclipses it. The half-lion, half-tiger liger:

But this is not what the male tiger and female lioness above are working on. The liger is what happens when a male lion impregnates a female tiger. If the above male tiger impregnates the female lion, the result will be a tigon.

I am not making this up.

You know, guys will pretty much do it with anyone. Capt. Kirk did it with a whole 'nother species. And Spocks mom was HUMAN while his dad was Vulcan! Guys are so funky. But, I like them.

Great Friday IOTD, my wife is coming home after 2 weeks away on business, really gets me in the mood!

Found an intersting site on the subject: http://www.lairweb.org.nz/tiger/ligers.html

While the expression on the lioness is priceless the one on the lioness behind the duo is pretty good too. :eek:

She looks like a tough one to please! - "Aren't you finished yet?!"

Aaaahhh humping pictures are always my favorite.

I read something kinda interesting about Tigons and Ligers:

"In tigers, the fathers contribute the genes that limit growth. In lions,
the mothers contribute the genes that limit growth. When you take
a female tiger, and a male lion, the offspring (liger) have no genes
to regulate how big they get. They just keep growing their whole lives.

On the other hand, a tiger father and a lion mother will make a tigon.
Tigons are much smaller than their lion and tiger parents because they
have two sets of growth limiting genes"

The lion in the background has this "Whoa - what the....!" look.

somewhere, in a peaceful wood, a worried Kanga thinks, "Where IS that Tigger of mine?"

There's always some weird-ass thing going on over in China, isn't there?
Hobbs • Sep 16, 2005 11:47 am
It looks like the tiger is wispering sweet nothings in the ear of the lioness, but what I think he's saying is, "This will take just a second, then I'll be off to watch Sports Center."

Ummm..ISTM that every time some guy does it with a female of another species- - - so does the female.

Just my take on things

:blush:

Aww, shaddup. You're just another guy who doesn't know squat. It's the male's fault. All. The. Time. What, are you new?

I'd have a go at mating with the chick in the picture with the ligon. Not in the vicinity of the ligon, mind you.

Rishathra for friday. How nice.

As an aside, Tigon Studios is the name of Vin Diesel's game production company.

Would that produce an Elspick or a Chode?

Depends ... is she Hispanic?

Look at the lioness' back legs, all casually splayed out to the side. Man, she's not even helping him out at all. She's just lyin' there. :rolleyes:
wolf • Sep 16, 2005 2:54 pm
Aren't humans the only creatures that do it for recreation as well as biological imperative?

Oh, and unlike, say, preying mantises, we don't kill our mates. Evolution has given us opposable thumbs and divorce attorneys.
Clodfobble • Sep 16, 2005 3:01 pm
I thought dolphins did it for recreation too.
jinx • Sep 16, 2005 3:04 pm
And bonobos.

Well, plenty of male animals will lick thier balls or jerk off. It's not sex, but it's similar. They probably do it for fun.

At least no kittens will be harmed in the making of this thread.

So are tigons bred for their skills in magic?

No...I'd be bludgeoned to death in my sleep with a guitar, most likely. Frankly, with the way I snore, I'm sort of surprised this hasn't happened anyway.

Gawd - could you imagine cleaning that cat's litter box?!
BigV • Sep 16, 2005 7:09 pm
Eeewwww. Picking out the crushed skulls, the rattly slinky of a spine, the awkward femurs with their sharp jagged ends gnawed off... Yeah, that's just gross.
xoxoxoBruce • Sep 16, 2005 7:16 pm
And bells that smell like pepper spray. ;)

This explains why my oldest son is so huge......
He's a MariNavy kid.

You can sure learn a lot on this board. As long as you don't already know everything.
