Tigons, Ligers, and Bears. Oh My!

Have you ever heard of the term "Liger"? From what my husband tells me, if you saw the movie Napoleon Dynamite, you have. I have never seen the movie. Mr. Media Matters loves it. One thing a lot of you might not know is this is a real animal. In Reno, Nevada there is a zoo there called Sierra Safari Zoo and they have a liger. His name is Hobbs and here is his picture. This page will also give you a little background on what a liger is and also a tigon. Yep, tigons are real too! I just happened to come across this because one of my co-workers said she was taking her little cousin to this place to see a Liger this weekend. I said, "huh?" So she explained and told me about the website. Sounds like fun and I think that should be my next little road trip. Reno is not too far from here. Yes, I know my friends tell me all the time I am full of useless information, but at least I learn things that way.
