Are Ligers A Real Animal?


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

    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

  4. dendroaspis polylepis Had this To Say

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