  • 900 pounds in action ^^

  • HUGE

  • I'd want to strangle the person who created this poor liger.

  • watch?v=eQc7jwTqiA4&feature=re­lated

    You guys.... this is the truth of ligers / ligons D: They are bred for cruelty we need this to stop!

  • Beautiful cat! What causes a cats teeth to have problems and is she still able to eat raw meat? How big is Freckles? It is good to know big wild cats like this are well cared for. :-)

  • LOL.

    Its roar sounds so unsure..

    "Which one am I, damn it!!??"

  • Who the hell ever thought it was a good idea to crossbreed lions and tigers?

  • why doesnt it have teeth? :\

  • Is Freckles still alive?

  • Notice how her roar is a hybrid between a tiger's snarl and a lion's roar. Truly awesome!

  • Those 'teeth' are probably providing round-the-clock toothaches...

  • Awesome cat... I like the pattern of her fur.

  • son of cousins!

  • got rescued to land in a cage... what nonsense.

  • im sorry about Freckles.... my 2 year old cat Leo who i had asked how i might be able to make him comfortable a while back, had to be put to sleep because he had gotten very sick with leukemia.....now i only have my very fat black cat ebony....

  • @wolfphenomenon Sorry for your loss, I'm sure you gave leo a grreat life :)

  • @BigCatRescue i really hope so...when he was taken from me i could tell he didnt want to leave me.... but i had no real choice.... what kind of choice do i have when im a kid? personally with my parents i say none....

  • @wolfphenomenon My cat is named Leo as well, and I can only imagine how cool and caring your cat was. Hang in there bud, my heart goes out to you man.

  • @KatideRealm thanks... i hope your cat is ok.... i bet my other cat ebony is yellin at me when he meows sayin "sheesh get your act together girl!" X3 cats and their complaining.... oh well.. love em while ya got em...

  • @wolfphenomenon Yeah, I miss him a bit. And he's probably feeling pretty shitty too. We had a loss about 3 weeks before I went off this semester for college: our other cat had died completely unexpectedly, and the house went from having 7 people in it to only 3, since 4 of of us (including myself) took off for Oklahoma. I'll get to see him int he summer though, and he's coming with me when I get out of the dorms here :) Anyway, you take care, and stay strong. Cats forever!

  • @KatideRealm lol yes cats forever! X3

  • gracious old ligerness

  • Majestic Beast.

  • Look it's pissed off! Let's get closer!

  • wheres the teeth?

  • Ligers must be very confused cats x.x

  • release it in the wild and see what happends

  • Rawr :3

  • July 5th is my birth day that's kinda cool

  • where the fuck is his/her teeths

  • wow! how tall is she when she stands on her back paws?

  • did anybody else notice that Freckers had no teeth? ..hahaha ..Freckers

  • poor cat has no teeth wtf does it eat with?

  • wow, these things are really real!

  • "Did yo hear about Bob? He was mawled to death this morning by Freckles" lol

  • i got scured

  • What happened to his teeth?

  • that looks like a fucking sabrecat ........ this would make me shit your pants if i sa this running at me  did you hear that growl????

  • okay that is freaken sad that she passed away

  • wtf was a liger doing in someones backyard? lmfao

  • @The808Prophet Cringer

  • don't ligers usually die young because of the hybridization?

  • @NashTheBlade no. Thats a myth

  • @BigCatRescue May I ask when did Freckles pass away and was she the oldest Liger ever recorded do you know?

  • @SephirothsQueen777 Freckles passed away July 5th 2011, she was the oldest liger that we know of....?

  • um wheres the cats teeth

  • @TheAfghanJock she has damaged her teeth in the past somehow, Freckles was 17 years old when this video was shot, this is old especially for a liger and we're unsure of her history except where we rescued her from???

  • @BigCatRescue is freckles a boy or a girl

  • is her hind leg getting better

  • @syprix Unfortunately Freckles has passed away since this video was made. Her neurological problems and her advanced age were the cause :(

  • I'm honestly sampling this in dubstep.

  • show me your teeth!

  • Rest in peace freckles! thank you big cat rescue for having him on the best place he could have been, I just recieved the notice through a different video that he passed away I really admire you as a group and I wish someday I can somehow help you out!

  • Where are Alex and Cookie?

  • @RealTenryuken They are in neighboring enclosures :)

  • Bred for its skills in magic. 

  • Rest in peace Freckles <3

  • @Tenuvie

    What?

    When did she die?

  • @RealTenryuken Freckles passed away on 7/5/2011 :(

  • @BigCatRescue

    Damnnn!

  • @BigCatRescue NOO! Not Freckles! Oh well, she had a good life at BCR at least right?

  • @ajle9550 Yes, she had the best retirement possible for a big cat at the sanctuary, we all miss her dearly :(

  • my fave liger too a it passed away :(

  • Its unforuntate that many of these big cats will never be set free because they lack survival skills, BUT the MAJOR issue is habitat lose. Sorry kids, cause of us, these wonderful creatures don't have a wild home, just sanctuaries that you can hope are even close to Big Cat Rescue and Out of Africa

  • It's so cute

  • so does the roar sound like a tiger or lion? or both?

  • It's so good to see clips of the big cats showing their true feral natures. Too many folks have this picture of a big cat as just an over-sized house cat...

    These animals are dangerous and their instinctive predatory nature should be respected and handled with a bit of healthy fear.

    Poor Freckles, to have suffered like that. At least now under the care BCR she'll live the rest of her surprisingly long life in comfort.

  • LIGER?  LION/TIGER

  • bindi the jungles girl i luved tht show but now its off the tv

    instead off keepin them in captivity set them free takem to africa for atleast a year or forever

  • Miss Grumpy Pants. Poor mutant kitty :-(

  • hes probably mad cause they named him freckles

  • mew

  • i love this cranky ol cat! shes like "BACK OFF! hey but dnt leave me"

  • @BoyDMage <~~~ That guy is the previous owner of the cat, i have no doubt about it!

  • @BoyDMage Dude, she was in hell and now she's living in big cat heaven. Rather then judging on what the Big Cat Rescue are doing and saying that she's currently in hell is just plain ignorant. Like they told you, you better brush up on her history before you make any judgments whatsoever.

  • I don't really understand people who see a wild animal or (in this case) a hybrid of two wild animals and think, "Gee! What a great pet it would make! I should go buy one!" when there are THOUSANDS of DOMESTIC animals in shelters across the country who need good homes.

    Then again, there are many things in this world I don't understand.

  • omg where are his teeth????!?!?!

  • @BoyDMage Wow, you must be stupid

  • teethless liger hahaha

  • @BoyDMage So you would rather have a Liger ( who by birth has a genetic defect ) and has had rotten teeth so badl damaged that it required surgery so the cat can again do the simple task of -eating-, and expose it to what? A normal persons home? or would you rather release it in to thewild where it has no experience, it's defects would slow it down and it's unnatural apttern give away it's position, IF it even ever learned to hunt? I must say sir, you're incredibly inteligent.... for a troll...

  • @BoyDMage Freckles was rescued from a backyard in Mississippi in 2008

    , her owner had abandoned her and two other tigers (Alex and Cookie), the cats were surviving because a former volunteer was throwing chicken into their enclosures twice a week, they had no clean water and were living in their own waste. Please read the link in the description to this video!

  • what does it eat with no teeth?

  • @eddieblackritual Freckles has her back teeth which the cats use to grind meat into smaller pieces to consume, so we fed her the same diet as the other cats and she was fine with it :)

  • @eddieblackritual n thats cruel .. i think they took it out on purpose

  • poor kitty. still being tough though it has no canines to tear people to shreads. to tell you the truth, its "growl" sounded more like a leopard than either a lion or a tiger.

  • COOL! ROARAWAR

  • It's so sad that people are purposely breeding this animal. They can only be bred in captivity and are mainly used for entertainment. They would never survive in the wild with all the health problems they have. I hope you're able to rescue more of these critters from their "trainers". Keep up the amazing work!

  • Ok so she does... Lol

  • She doesn't have teeth... Does she?

  • huge

  • RAAWWR!

  • I would love to work with big animals like that. Getting so close to them! Wow!

  • EPIC! :)

  • damn nature you scary

  • Cute... : 3

  • I realy love how company's help rescue animals and help them get better. This is just great, i think its such a nice thing to do, people who do this should be very proud of themselves.

  • Lol watch out.. it might turn around and shoot piss at you!

  • In the future Robocop will use Ligers as a police dog, or as is more fitting, Police Cat. Crime will almost vanish.

  • Freckles is cute when shes mad and roar.

  • @randomguyodst46

    She's cute when she roars, as long as I see it in video or by visiting the sanctuary. I would, however, probably faint with fear if I was walking down the street and heard that roar, then turned around to see a big cat running towards me. :( LOL

  • @kathrynk007 lol.....

  • Lol the liger has a mini-mane

  • Cause its a baby

  • why doesn't it have any teeth?

  • @xXBulletSquallXx she has damaged her teeth in the past somehow, Freckles is 17 so this is old especially for a liger and we're unsure of her history except where we rescued her from???

  • @BigCatRescue  read the discription...

  • @seaturtkes that works too :)

  • So, at Big Cat Rescue you're against breeding Ligers right?

    Even though I understand I'm still curious, why are you against it?

  • @TheNile182 Yes we are, ligers shouldn't exist, they are a man made "species" that suffer from many health problems. The people who breed ligers and white tigers have no interest in animal welfare, they just want to make money off of the unsuspecting and uneducated public.

  • @BigCatRescue I agree totally, it is un-natrual and this goes for domestic dogs as well, I mean come on what they are doing with poodles is criminal. I think people shoudl also avoid breed mixing.

  • rescued from a backyard? Do people breed tigers and lions (which otherwise wouldn't do so in the wild) and dump their bastard children in people's backyards? am i missing something here?

  • @erik4727 We call them backyard breeders, these people earn a living from breeding big cats and selling them into the pet trade, for their body parts or into canned hunts where they are shot within an enclosed area to become a trophy.

  • @BigCatRescue owwwww stop them from doing that!

  • @BigCatRescue I simply can not understand how this is legal. Makes no sense whatsoever. Have you tried to involve organisations like WWF to try and make this illegal? Worldwide pressure often works...

  • @TheAntelwi We agree and yes all animal welfare organizations are aware of the problem, progress with these laws is always tediously slow, but changes are being made slowly, but surely.

  • @BigCatRescue you know what we should do? we should call the Army and have these "backyard breeders" put in their own little enclousures and then all be shot. and have their remains fed to the ligers and tigers.

  • She didn't seem that happy about being filmed, do the cats disapprove of being filmed a lot?

  • @TheNile182 The cats don't mind being filmed, but some do mind if you invade their personal space and they let you know, this is when we back off!

  • Ears back cute lol

  • How do you guys feed freckles if she has no teeth?

  • @XDragonsXCryX Freckles is fed the same diet as the rest of the cats, she is only missing her canine teeth, she still has her back teeth which are used to grind and slice up the meat so she is fine eating anything :)

  • She's beautiful :) if i were a lion, she'd be my pick ^_^

  • roy west

  • teeth?

    

  • @PrettyTatted20 she has damaged her teeth in the past somehow, Freckles is 17 so this is old especially for a liger and we're unsure of her history except where we rescued her from???

  • what happend to it´s teeth :O?

  • @DonChilenito she has damaged her teeth in the past somehow, Freckles is 17 so this is old especially for a liger and we're unsure of her history except where we rescued her from???

  • rescued from a backyard???

  • chuck norris's pet

  • I hear rumors that you want the ENTIRE exotic pet trade to banned. If this is true, I wouldnt be able to support u guys.

  • @wan2shuffle You're kidding right? Anyone who supports the entire exotic animal trade is responsible for creating such animal abuse. I doubt people like you had ever donated money to BCR in the first place, leave alone support. BCR just wants such an abuse to be banned so that no more big cats to be abandoned or used for selfish commercial & leisure means; and more importanly discouraged wild animals to be kidnapped from their natrual habitants. They want CLEAN money NOT dirty!

  • @AdvertChild98 I dont support the entire exotic pet trade. I mean if they are trying get the entire exotic pet trade banned. One if my hobbies is keeping snakes is part of the exotic pet trade. They have much better lives in captivity if the owner knows what they are doing. they never starve, and no predators

  • aww kisses

  • WHAT A WON DER FUL BEAST!!!

  • Freckles is an amazing cat..Are liger's rare? Are there lot's left? Please respond. (:

  • @CrazyPplez

    Big Cat Rescue has mentioned numerous times that Ligers aren't a real species.

  • @CrazyPplez Ligers are not common in the wild because of how they are born, they are the mix between a male lion and a tigress, so actually the ligers we see are intentionally breed by humans

  • @CrazyPplez Ligers are a man made "species" they do not exist in the wild and shouldn't exist at all, yet they are still bred by ignorant, selfish people to profit from them.

  • It's sickening how people consider a 'WILD' Animal a pet.

    I'm 15, and it's saddening to hear and see how people can let these animals suffer in a backyard, or in a cage when they deserve to be in the wild. I appreciate what BCR does. I know it hurts them as much as it hurts viewers knowing how these animals were treated and spend their lives behind a cage. But, they got a pretty sweet home at BCR.

    Free Tony!! D: I cried while watching BCR's video about Tony and how he lives and is treated a

  • I hate it when people go hunting for fun or fill ants nests up with cement to see what it looks like inside it's so mean how would they like it if they drowned in cement but it's good they have animal rescue teams like this that help animals especially the endangered ones

  • Thanks for clearing things up for folks. There's unfortunately a video out there about a place that breeds them on purpose (but pretends it was an accident), a place that exploits big cats in the name of "conservation", and an attempt to whitewash the problem of Ligers/Tigons. watch?v=1zOWYj59BXI

    I propose letting them know they're very wrong. The video description has two links. The Ligerliger one has a Myths section that tries to disprove the problems, but doesn't address most (cont)

  • @xZaCloudx (continued) of the problems, or changes the wording. They have a warped understanding about what "conservation" means, thus them saying that exploiting Ligers supposedly as ambassadors for "conservation" makes one question whether that's true in the correct sense. Their idea of "conservation" is wrong.

    Then the other one offers taking photos with unrestrained cats, says Liger births were "by accident", and is just full of cringe-worthy ignorance. They're ridiculous!

  • lions and tigers should never breed together - its not natural just because they are cats. they wouldn't do this in the wild. poor thing looks like a deformed inbred.

  • I noticed she didn't have much teeth, is she de-clawed too?

  • @halfgoodhalfevil No she is still clawed

  • @BigCatRescue I'm glad to hear that.

  • poor thing, has it been de-toothed or have they dropped out?

  • @benbrenyefski No, she has damaged her teeth in the past somehow, Freckles is 17 so this is old especially for a liger and we're unsure of her history except where we rescued her from???

  • wow it looks so cool...

  • She is not happy.

  • so did a tiger had sex with a lion? woah i had no idea they could ever be mixed like that.

  • @poutyambie Liger is the result of a male lion mating with a female tiger.

  • @BigCatRescue wow amazing thanks for the info! i thought that lions and tigers didnt get along with each other since lions are usually such bullies to other big cats. :P thats why i love leopards the most because they are completely solitary creatures.

  • So was that just a "Get away,you're too close!" kind of thing?Or was she wary of the camera?

  • @kyuketsukisan19 Yes, it was a "hey back off" roar, which we then did, it's important to show this side of these cats to our viewers rather then the cute and cuddly side all the time, they're wild, dangerous animals.

  • @BigCatRescue I can understand that.It's a good point to make,especially to people who think they're just overgrown kittens who will be cuddly,loveable housepets.It's just a shame that a lot of people still don't get that,and just wind up causing problems for themselves and the animals.

  • @BigCatRescue

    That's what I really like about you. Yes, the cat's are gorgeous, majestic and even cute but it is some of that that makes people want to "own" them. I see it in comments all the time....so I am really glad you show this side. :)

  • @BigCatRescue What got her angry or was it personal space issue?

  • @altarush She was a naturally grumpy cat, she didn't trust that many people and we're unsure what happened to her in the past? The roar in this video was a personal space issue, she was just letting me know "go away I don't want to be filmed right now" so we did!

  • Hey Freckles; you gorgeous girl! So glad you've found a home at BCR!! :)

  • swap YOU found in youtube to MYPRIZE and then hit enter

  • Deadly but cute!

  • The big cats are surely great animals, along with the wolves and eagles.

  • HELL!! O_O This scared the s**t out of me, just hearing his voice :-S

  • I wanted to say the work you guys do is nothing short of amazing - I did a scientific presentation a few months ago in the college course I'm currently doing on the Bengal tiger mess. Highlighted how from the original orange/black tiger the mutations for pretty colours have appeared & captive breeding's just gone nuts!!

    I also refuse to acknowledge Ligers as the biggest cats due to them being unnatural hybrids & I've passed this message out as well xx

  • ITS A BIG FLUFFY KITTY !

  • aw...shes..cute...then she rips your arm off...

  • @dragonbrad98 ...and she'll still be cute!

  • @wolfhybrid900 ....yup she will still be cute...no denying it

  • Beautiful animal...

  • LIGER ZERO (zoids)

  • poor hybrid, i used to think Hybrids were cool, now i think they are creul

  • TRANSLATION

    "I wants cheeseburger NOW!!one!1"

  • @mashersmasher hahahahahahh
