Before this time period, there were no ligers at the Shanghai Wild Animal Park. Currently this liger zoo has at least 2 ligers. Their gender, age and names etc. still remains unknown, as the online information sources do not reveal that much information about the ligers. However; from the pictures which we have viewed so far about the ligers from the Shanghai, these ligers were not as much bigger in size as compared to the ligers which we have seen and observed in USA, Germany, Russia and even South Korea. The Ligers at Shanghai Wild Animal Park did seem to be rather less in terms of their weight. From the pictures’ evidence we can well suggest that even the biggest liger we have spotted at the Shanghai Wild Animal Park was not more than 700 pounds. The key reason can be that these ligers might still be young and they would have been in a process of growing.

Of course you will only feed it behind the safe grills, as the Zoo prohibits any direct contact of the people with the big cats.
