Mike Holston, who has the social media name The Real Tarzann, showed off one astonishing clip of him taking the 705lb (319kg) beast for a walk with a pal.
The huge feline – called Apollo – was seen with Mike and wildlife conservationist Kody Antle in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, reports the Star.
On the clip Kody says: “This big guy’s name is Apollo and he is the biggest cat on the planet.”
Mike then adds: “Now the question is, what would this thing eat? I believe it would eat everything in sight, anything in sight.
“I think a pack of these things would take down a herd of elephants on the regular for a snack.
“Such a majestic beast, and it can get up to 40 miles an hour in a couple of steps.”
And those that have seen the remarkable clip and others of Mike with Apollo are clearly very impressed.
On seeing a separate Instagram video, one even said the giant cat was the same size of a sabre-tooth tiger – which went extinct 42,000 years ago.
Another person said: “That ain’t no cat, that’s a monster.” A third said: “This liger is INSANE.”
Ligers are mostly found in zoos and are the largest big cat in the world weighing up to 795lb – almost double the weight of either a lion or tiger.
They can reach an outstanding length of 12ft and stand more than six ft tall.
