To those who are seeing this for the first time, Cameron and Zabu have unfortunately passed away this year within weeks of each other. Cameron was the first to pass, and a few weeks later, Zabu followed. Kidney failure was speculated for Zabu, but it was suspected that a broken heart was truly the cause of her passing. Cammy boy and BuBu girl were true companions, and now they are reunited, forever free, running free across the Rainbow Bridge.
Ligers don’t exist in the wild because Lions and Tigers are separate species (albeit close to one another still), and neither associate with one another in the wild at all. The idea that they live on “separate continents” was once blatantly false, and is still false today: Lions used to inhabit Europe and much of Asia, but their range in Asia has been literally reduced to Gujarat in India, meaning India is the only nation today that has both wild and native Lions and Tigers.
The liger that was featured in the video was named Freckles, and she also lived at Big Cat Rescue. She basically had no teeth in the video (they were in bad condition, so they had to be excised). She was a beautiful girl, but it’s sad that people breed these animals for profit. Freckles passed away in 2011. May her brave soul run free.
Cameron and Zabu have been freed from the roadside zoo for years already. Unfortunately though, Cameron has since lost his mane since they neutered him (he was getting very aggressive and territorial over Zabu so BCR decided to go through with the surgery so he wouldn’t accidentally harm Zabu). Nonetheless, they look very happy together
