Sanctuary in Myrtle Beach in South Carolina is the place where this gorgeous ligers cubs were born. Named Yeti, Odlin, Sampson and Apollo, these adorable creatures look like kittens.

It’s called Hercules and he’s also a liger. And actually a very big one as Hercules is 922 pounds. Anyway, beside this, he’s still adorable and very playful.
The four sweet little cubs are currently living with their parents, Ivory and Saraswati in the T.I.G.E.R. Sanctuary. And they are growing bigger every day as gaining almost a pound of weight daily. Even the founder of the sanctuary is amazed by their appetite. Dr. Antle declared : “I skip a day seeing them and it looks like they’ve doubled in size. It’s like someone’s blowing them up with a tire pump.”
