Are Ligers A Real Animal?

Filed in Category Answers about Ligers

Yes, they are a cross between a male lion and female tiger. They look like this:http://www3.telus.net/jefmil/2005/02/lig…
They tend to grow larger than either of their parents, whilst tigons, the offspring of a male tiger and female lion, are usually smaller than or at least no larger than their parents. They look like this:http://www.zoobeat.com/gallery/data/513/…
Like most hybrids, both ligers and tigons are usually sterile, but occasionally a female will be fertile (there is no record of fertile males), and can be bred back to male lion or tiger, producing:
Lion + liger = li-liger
Lion + tigon = li-tigon
Tiger + liger = ti-liger
Tiger + tigon = ti-tigon

    Yes, but they are a hybrid animal not it’s own species. It is a cross between a male lion and a female tiger.http://www.lairweb.org.nz/tiger/ligers.h…http://www.liger.org/http://www.myrtlebeachsafari.com/gallery…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zOWYj59B…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqwLmkd8f…http://videohub.ro/video/1127/Liger-on-3…http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligerhttp://www.bigcatrescue.org/cats/wild/li…

    All animals are real……but liger is man made so does not count as a wild animal unless and ofcourse it is introduced in the wild

    Yes, but not naturally. They are a result of captive breeding.
