Liger

You might have seen this creature before, perhaps having been on a package tour to Korea, like I have, and even having captured a better picture than this one.

If you haven't seen it, surely you must have had heard of it before.

It's a liger - an offspring from a parent who is a lion and another, a tiger.

I make it sound so trivial - when I discuss it like that.

But really, take a good look at it, and tune out the cheap voices and act-smart perspectives that ring in the shallower parts of our minds... and realise that the world is a beautiful place for ligers to exist.

Maybe out there are fish made of sea-cucumbers, or parrots shaped like donkeys...
