The World's Largest Cat

Problem illustration

Meet Hercules, the biggest cat in the whole world! Hercules is a liger, which means his dad was a lion and his mom was a tiger. He is massive, weighing 418 kilograms—that is more than some small cars! Even though he is a giant, he is a very gentle cat who lives at a wildlife preserve in South Carolina. Hercules is so long that he measures over 3 metres from his nose to the tip of his tail. Learn more!
