That thing is a Liger (I can hear the Napoleon Dynamite jokes already..). Lion-Tiger hybrid, always born sterile & only exists in captivity. Needs something like 4x the meat of a normal Lion daily... neat, but I wouldn't want to make it mad.
That's why it pays to practice, practice, practice. Dogs and cats have one thing in common, they don't attack bellybutton first. A shot to the brain case with a lil .22 would work guite handily
On the other hand, I doubt seriously a 'liger' is likely to be hunting my bellybutton anytime soon... and I sure wouldn't step into a cage with one without a drawn .45 and an inclination to use it.
Can you imagine the size of the turds that thing would leave in my sneakers? the mere thought inspires proactive defense.
