[Liger video/slideshow]

The narrator bugged me. Annoying and factually incorrect. For example, he claimed that the giant size of the liger is due to it having hybrid vigour as a result of being a cross between a lion and a tiger. It isn't - a tigon is also a cross being a lion and a tiger and it's half the size of a liger. Crossbreeds are rarely twice the size of the parent animals. Ligers seem more prone to medical problems than lions or tigers, although there aren't enough of them to be sure and this particular one is in good health. All the rest of his spiel is just fan speech devoid of real content, which could be said about almost any animal. Twaddle. Annoyingly delivered twaddle.

I think the first photo on this page gives the most startling impression of the size of Hercules.

I think that's a straight photo without much forced perspective. He's a bit closer because of the shape of his head, but she's in front of his ear so she can't be much further back.

Might be a repost from a while back, this just popped into my head, always thought it was pretty funky if you're familiar with the theme.

Look forward to seeing what you get up on there. As per other comments though, sort some proper mics to try remove some echo, and go for a more casual approach! :D

Very hard to speak naturally and casually but it will come, just know the product/topic you are talking about inside out rather than trying to memorise details/script read :)
