Because only female <a href="http://www.liger.org">ligers</a> are fertile, a liger cannot reproduce with another liger. The sterility in males is caused by the fact that because of the unstable genes, male <a href="http://www.liger.org">ligers</a> never reach puberty.

Lions and tigers are tow different species in one family (Phillidae) like horse and donkeys (Equidae). The offspring have 62 chromosomes (31) pairs (hapliod) instead of 64 in fertile offspring (32) diploid. Thus the <a href="http://www.liger.org">ligers</a> , mules and jennet are all infertile ( can not reproduce). As the name indicates, ligers are a cross between lions(li) and tigers(gers).
