Answer 5

Answer 6

A liger is the offspring of a male lion and female tiger, and a tigon is the offspring of a male tiger and female lion. Ligers tend towards gigantism and usually grow larger than their parents, whilst tigons are often smaller or at least no bigger than their parents. Like most hybrids, both ligers and tigons are nearly always sterile, but occasionally a female will be fertile and can be bred back to one of the parent species, producing:

Liger + lion = li-liger

Liger + tiger = ti-liger

Tigon + lion = li-tigon

Tigon + tiger = ti-tigon
