Are Ligers And Tigons The Same? If They Are Different, How So?
Filed in Category Answers about Ligers
The father of a liger is a lion and its mother is a tiger. Ligers tend to be larger than either of their parents. The parents of a tigon are a male tiger and a female lion. Tigons tend to be smaller and more wirey than either of their parents. Both female ligers and female tigons can be fertile, but males are always sterile.

many differences
Ligers are made from a male lion and a female tiger.
Tigons are made from a male tiger and a female lion.
Or is it vice versa? I can never remember…
