What Is a Liger?
Filed in The Category Answers about Ligers
The liger is a cat born from the breeding of a male lion and a female tiger. This combination produces an offspring with more lionistic features than if the reverse pairing had occured. That would produce a more tigeristic creature known as a tigon. Both are members of genus Panthera.There is no scientific name assigned to this animal because of it’s human assisted ancestory.
A liger looks like a giant lion with muted stripes but like thier tiger ancestors, ligers like swimming. This goes against the nature of a lion but is what makes creature special. It gets the best of both parents. That is not always the case though with crossbreeds. Sometimes the results go the other way and the animal gets the worst of both parents. That would suck! Enjoy the site and I hope you fall in love with the liger, even if you don’t agree with the science… remember it’s not the liger’s fault.
Do These Creatures Called Ligers Really Exist?
Filed in The Category Answers about Ligers
Yes, ligers are the offspring of a male lion and female tiger. The offspring of a male tiger and female lion is called a tigon. Ligers tend towards gigantism and are generally larger than either of their parents, whilst tigons are generally smaller or at least no larger than their parents. Like most hybrids, both are usually sterile, but occasionally a female will be fertile and can be bred back to a male lion or tiger, producing:
Lion + liger = li-liger
Lion + tigon = li-tigon
Tiger + liger = ti-liger
Tiger + tigon = ti-tigon
There is no record of fertile males, so you could never breed two ligers or two tigons together, or a liger with a tigon.
Respectable zoos frown on the breeding of hybrids such as ligers and tigons, as they have no value from a conservation point of view and are taking up space and resources that could be used to breed endangered species. They are basically freaks bred by unscrupulous zoos in order to make money out of people willing to pay to see them.
Today, there is very little chance of them occurring in the wild – tigers are found only in Asia, lions in Africa and the Gir Forest of India, where there are no tigers. Historically, the Asiatic subspecies of lion had a much greater range which overlapped with that of the tiger, so it is possible, though unlikely, that they may once have sometimes occurred in the wild.

Where Do You Find Ligers?
Filed in The Category Answers about Ligers
They have some in California I believe. They actually exist, but not in the wild, since lions and tigers do not naturally inhabit the same areas. They are like donkeys (horse and mule mix) in that they cannot reproduce, so there aren’t very many of them. They also have a problem with growth inhibition so they get much larger than either lions or tigers, but tend to be more docile than either and have shorter life expectancies.

When Was The Tigon First Discovered And Where?!?
Filed in The Category Tigons
The tiglon was bred, possibly originally by
accident. Tigers and lions at present have almost completely separate geographical
ranges. There is only a small area in India where the two species might meet, so they have
no opportunity to mate with each other, which
they wouldn’t to under normal circumstances
anyway.

Why Are Ligers Important To Our World?
Filed in The Category Answers about Ligers
There not.
They are’nt natural creatures .. they cant reproduce ..
without humans i persoanlly think that none, or very very very few would even exist.
I dont see why ’scienticts’ cant put their efforts ino conserving natural species that we have destroyed, instead of playing god and creating new ones for our own entertainment.
