History and Origin of the Ligers
According to different reports and historical periodicals the first
liger in the world was born in India. Ligers are not born in the
wild. The liger which was born in 1799 in India had its painting
as well. Therefore, the painting evidence indicates that first ever
liger offspring occurred in the sub-continent soil which currently
include Pakistan and India. This could also indicate that the first
ever liger cub would have born during the eighteenth century rather
than the nineteenth century (Buzzle.com, 2010). This would also
indicate the fact that this would have happened under the ruling
of the British in India. By that time, there would be plenty of
tigers and lions living in the jungles of India.
At that time India was primarily under the influence of the British
Empire and was labelled as sub-continent. Historically there has
been clear records of ligers being presented as gifts to British
Royal Family including Queen Victoria as well. Therefore, it would
never be wrong to classify India as a traditional as well as initial
major hub for the captive liger breeding in the world.It will be
very interesting to see the fact that India is one of the rarest
places on earth where tigers and lions both exist. Even at certain
places the tigers' territories and lions' territories overlap as
well. But there has never been a recorded evidence of ligers in
such overlapping territories of lions and tigers. However, the reports suggested that in the Dir forest of India, there are several shared territories of lions and tigers. People also believed that ligers used to live there for centuries ago. But so far there hasn't been any independent confirmation of this event. Dir forest is mostly famous for the wild Asiatic lions (National Geographic, 2010). Asiatic lions are relatively less in weights as compared to the African lions too. They often live as solitary hunter and even are if they live in groups, such groups were very small. Only the tracking of the forensic evidence into the Dir forest could indicate that the ligers have ever existed in the world. Since civilizations have not been settled there and much of the forest still existed as natural habitat, therefore, this tracking of liger's evidence from the region is plausible.
The first ever existence of the ligers in United States followed during the twentieth century. Shasta was the first ever liger to be born in United States. Therefore, history of the ligers in United States is marked with the birth of Shasta the liger. It is very important to mention United States here because currently United States is the biggest hub of ligers in the world. There are currently more than 30 ligers in United States. This population of ligers is expected to grow because there are oodles of tigers as well as lions in United States which many experts believe that over-population of the captive big cats. One can purchase a tiger cub in United States for as low as 400 US dollars. Currently there are around 15000 tigers in United States with all living in captivity.
