Question

What's a Liger?

Answer 1

Offspring between a male lion and a female tiger.  Bigger than either but has some features from each.

Answer 2

A liger is the offspring of a male lion and female tiger. The offspring of a male tiger and female lion is called a tigon. As with most hybrids, both ligers and tigons are nearly always sterile, but occasionally a female will be fertile. Ligers tend towards gigantism and are often larger than either of their parents, whilst tigons tend to be smaller than their parents.

Answer 3

yea, a liger is a hybrid between a lion and a tiger. they r larger than lions and tigers, but they normally dont last very long in the wild or in captivity. they have a mixture of defects, like all hybrids. they usually are kinda tanish orange, with short stripes

Answer 4

Answer 8

The Liger is a hybrid cross between a male lion and a female tiger (i.e, Panthera leo × Panthera tigris[1]). A liger resembles a tiger with diffused stripes. They are the largest cats in the world, although the Siberian Tiger is the largest "pure" taxon. Ligers and tigers enjoy swimming, whereas lions do not. A similar hybrid, the offspring of a male tiger and a female lion is called a tigon.

Rare reports have been made of tigresses mating with lions in the wild.[2] Such mating may have occurred when, in uncommon circumstances, tigers were forced into ranges inhabited by the Asiatic Lion, Panthera leo persica. However, since the present-day ranges of wild lions and tigers no longer overlap,[3] it is generally held that such a combination of species would occur very rarely.[4]

Answer 9

one parent is a tiger and one is a lion,  i also believe a liger can not have any offspring, its like a mule is a horse and donkey.
