The liger, suitably named Hercules, is 10 feet in length and weighs 922 pounds.
Hercules lives at Myrtle Beach Safari Wildlife preserve in South Carolina.
Although ligers are known to be bigger than their parents, Hercules’ size has won him a spot in the Guinness Book of Records 2014.
Sara Wilcox, public relations and marketing executive for Guinness World Records said: “We just knew that the largest living cat probably was the liger.
“We have not measured a liger before, we are aware of other ligers.”
The 131 inch long animal lives in the preserve’s area called TIGER, which stands for The Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species.
Hercules appears in the latest Guinness Book of World Records as ‘the world’s largest feline, weighing in at 922 pounds and measuring 131 inches long and 49 inches tall at his shoulder’.
Ligers do not exist in the wild and they can grow to double the size of their parents and weigh 100 times more than the average pet cat.
