@tsarstepan,
(A lady I know who lives in the mountains of Ojai, CA saw an actual liger in her back yard. Most likely escaped from one of the rich peoples menageries in Santa Barbara. The police refused to believe her and didn't come. She is suing them. She's a lawyer)
I see you didn't say anything about yourself as you are afraid of being insulted -- AGAIN!
I aways bring a can of mace with me when hiking.
