The terrifying sandy-coloured liger was showed off in a short video on Instagram from conservationist pair, Mike Holston and Kody Antle, and has since been likened to the ferocious sabre-tooth - which went extinct 42,000 years ago - because of it's mammoth-like size and sharp fangs.

Speaking on the social media clip, Kody said: ''This big guy's name is Apollo and he is the biggest cat on the planet.

''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.''
