Yes, but the hybrid must be true-breeding. True-breeding triticale is a new species, although it is a hybrid of wheat and rye.

Nope. Fertility among these guys is very low.
A liger or tigon is a man-made animal. Without men, there would be no smarts in a lion or tiger to mate with eachother to create this special species. They can’t live on their own either. Very dependant.
