Pictures of Ligers: Lion-like and Tiger-like Ligers
 Sudan, a tiger-like male liger, at Barefoot Landing, in South Carolina. Ligers are no longer displayed at that location, but may be seen at T.I.G.E.R.s Preservation Station (which still uses Barefoot Landing for fund-raising efforts). (© Sheri Seligman) |

Other Images of Ligers
Most images of ligers posted on the Web were illegally taken from copyrighted sites. For instance, the picture of "Bertram" on Wikimedia Commons is actually a doctored image of the first thumbnail of Sudan, below. The large image of Sudan shown above was taken by one of our contributors, and is posted with her permission. The above image of Hobbs is posted here because though scattered all over the Web, it is no longer available on the Sierra Safari Zoo site, and we hope that you will use the link provided to visit their site and make a contribution, so they can continue their work.
The thumbnails posted below have a similar purpose. They are still posted at the sites which legally own them, so we have reduced them in size to encourage you to visit the original site, read about their work, and give credit or contributions where they are due, instead of visiting or contributing to sites which have illegally used the images.
