Before Hercules became a big brother, the gigantic liger bred by a Myrtle Beach wildlife park for tourists (which they claim was an accident) was a model for a photo shoot recreating 1960s London. At first glance, it seems like a 12-ft long, 900-pound prowling beast is on the loose around the streets of London.

Although the colossal liger appears to be strolling across Abbey Road and leaving a London Underground station, Hercules is actually in Freestyle Music Park in South Carolina, and part of a photo shoot orchestrated by the park that bred him. The images are visually arresting, but what do they reveal about the bigger picture? Please weigh in with your thoughts. – Global Animal
