Nope....been discussed a few times on here now, basically another hybrid between EG bengal and EG savannah!

How they can say it'll live 25 years is just beyond me, in the article it clearly states is was only created 3 years ago....imagine a money motivated breeder selling one of these to a couple with young children....scary thought?

Media hype, and bandwagons spring to mind! :roll:

It justs looks like a leopard :shock:

I only came across the article because someone on flickr asked me if Oscar was a baby one and gave me a link :roll:

Those pictures in the Daily Mail make them look like the head doesn't match the body. It looks too small somehow...

I sure don't have 12,000 to spend and hubby would probably knock me upside the head for even thinking it! LOL.
But I would LOVE a Bengal that got to be about 30, 40 pounds....I always wanted a leopard as a pet but realize you can't keep a grown leopard in the house. But a large size leopard looking but housecat acting pet would be awesome.

Hmmm, http://www.bigcatrescue.org/buy_a_big_cat.htm says that you can actually get a real tiger cub in America for $2500. It's probably why you have so many crazy 'tiger rescued from apartment' stories there http://www.news24.com/News24/World/News ... 28,00.html but IMO that's a much much MUCH better bargain than a £12000 hybrid :lol:

its funny that, one of my friends was telling my that the highest tiger to people ratio in the entire world is actually texas!

:lol:

Imagine walking into the vets, and there's those people acting hard with massive dogs, and you suddenly walk in with a tiger!!
