Katz - 19 Mar 2005 00:39 GMT
The radio station I listen to has been having a kind of Newlywed Game
on all this week. One partner leaves the room while the DJ asks the
other one questions. Then the other one comes back in the room & has to
try to figure out how the partner would have answered.

One question they asked the young woman was, "What is your favorite
animal?" She stuttered & stammered forever before coming up with
"liger," which is apparently a fictional animal in a kids' movie. She
said she had no favorite animal. When the man came back, he also
answered that she had no favorite animal.

Can you imagine?! It seems so weird to me that someone wouldn't like
any animals.

A liger is an offspring of a mating between lion and tiger.

A male lion and a female tiger.  The offspring of a male tiger and a female
lion is a tigon.  And the offspring of a male tiger and a female tigon is a
ti-tigon.  I saw one of each at Tippi Hedren's Shambala a number of years
ago.

I don't suppose that somewhere in this is the ancestor of Klingons?

Wait, wait.  There's a huge difference between "no favorite animal" and "don't
like any animals."

I don't think I could tell you my favorite animal.  There are so many I adore!

I agree.  It's tough.  I love cats, but so many others have so much
appeal in so many different ways.  Birds fascinate me, as do fish and
reptiles.  I love cute fuzzies like hampsters and rabbits.  The list
goes on and on.   Actually I don't think there is an animal I don't
like except for maybe ticks.    I love watching all of the animal
programs on Discovery and Animal Planet.

I pretty much like just about any animal except fleas, mosquitoes and
such (they think I'm Thanksgiving dinner), bees (I have a mild
beesting allergy), and snakes (I'm phobic about them).

That was my reaction, too!  I "like" MOST animals (even
those I'd be afraid to encounter without a strong barrier
between us).  Of course, cats (of all sizes and species) are
my favorites, but I love dogs, too.  I've just never lived
in circumstances where I felt right having one, because they
require more time and attention than I have to give.  (Also
much more space, since my tastes run to the really BIG dogs.)

A number of years ago, our zoo had a Liger, which resulted from a mating
of a lion and a tiger.  It lived many years at our zoo.MLB
