         LIGER: a man made tiger/lion Liger , offspring of a male  lion  and a female  tiger . The liger is a  zoo -bred  hybrid , as is the  tigon , which is the result of mating a male  tiger with a female  lion . The liger and the tigon possess features of both parents, in variable proportions, but are generally larger than either. It is thought that most, if not all, male ligers and tigons are sterile. The females, however, on occasion, may be able to produce young. The terms  liger  and  tigon  are  portmanteaus  of the words  lion  and  tiger . Ligers tend to be larger and heavier than members of their parent  species . Biologists suggest that the liger’s large size, or “ growth dysplasia,” results from the absence of certain growth-limiting  genes . Female lions mate with several male lions throughout their lives, so the genes of a male lion are adapted to maximize the growth of his offspring, since his offspring may be required to compete with those of other males pr

The Great Pyramid at Giza Built in  c. 2560 BC by the Old Kingdom pharaoh Khufu, this is the oldest and largest of the pyramids that make up the ancient Egyptian  necropolis at Giza , just outside Cairo – now a UNESCO  World Heritage Site. Did you know? The Great Pyramid was the tallest man-made construction in the world for almost 4,000 years, until Lincoln cathedral – with its 160m spire – was built in AD 1311. 3.
