What happens when you make a male tiger mate with a female lion? You get a rare monstrousity known as a liger. The liger is the worlds largest cat, being 12 feet tall and 900-1200 pounds. It weighs almost twice as much as the worlds (second) largest cat, the tiger. It roars like a lion, but can swim like a tiger.
They are very rare, and are almost always produced in captivity (because lions and tigers do not meet often in nature). About 30 exist.
EDIT: According to snopes, they can run up to 50 mph. (thanks Britishbane)
