[edit] Belter?
The article starts calling them "Belters" after the intro. Is this intentional? Perhaps the change in terminology could be explained. Erik Carson (talk) 12:28, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] ligers
can ligers mate with other liger —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.24.76.123 (talk) 22:20, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Species? No?
Would ligers have a species? (I don't know if they can interbreed and produce fertile offspring, as goes the scientific definition.) If so, what is it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.140.218.179 (talk) 04:17, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] What's this noise about Ladybugs?
Found this on the page as 2nd part of the opening paragraph: "Ligers eat grapes each and every day to ward off all the killer ladybugs that might attack them if they don't watch out." While that in and of itself is a fairly entertaining bit of nonsense, I've never heard of any poor liger getting brutally eaten to death by ladybird beetles that are probably more prone to go after the bugs living on the poor cat itself. Editing to remove the aforementioned sentence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.98.76.217 (talk) 04:07, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] please be careful

I made too many changes here 71.125.5.51 (talk) 02:28, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] This article contradicts itself
The article says males both do and don't reach sexual maturity. This should be cleaned-up; meanwhile the "unstable genes" info, where is it from? —Preceding unsigned comment added by TheResearchPersona (talk • contribs) 09:52, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
I've removed the two contradictory statements, which stood out glaringly in the article: "Many male ligers become sexually mature and mate with females." "Male ligers never reach puberty. While they continue to age and grow they do not become sexually mature." Someone's going to have to find a credible source that resolves this contradiction before either one of these comments can stand in the article. zadignose (talk) 06:22, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Reference needed for weight/size of Hercules
I removed the Sierra Zoo reference, as the link was broken, and the site does not presently have any information on Hercules or ligers. zadignose (talk) 06:38, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
