<p>Herculean cat! A giant 10-feet-long liger - hybrid of a tigress and a lion - has been named the world's biggest cat by Guinness World Records.<br /><br /></p>.<p>The liger appropriately named Hercules weighs 418kg and lives at Myrtle Beach Safari Wildlife preserve in South Carolina.<br /><br />Ligers are known to be bigger than their parents, however, Hercules' size is huge enough to have won him a spot in the Guinness.<br /><br />"We just knew that the largest living cat probably was the liger. We have not measured a liger before, we are aware of other ligers," Sara Wilcox, public relations and marketing executive for Guinness World Records said.<br /><br />The 131-inch long cat lives in the preserve's area called TIGER, which stands for The Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species, 'Closer' magazine reported.<br /><br />The feline appears in the Guinness Book of Records 2014 as the "world's largest feline, weighing in at 922 pounds (418kg) and measuring 131-inches long and 49-inches tall at his shoulder."<br /><br />Ligers are not found in the wild and they can achieve double the size of their parents and weigh 100 times more than the average pet cat.</p>
