Yes, they may be able to learn something that may help in the future with other species, but at the same time, we also don't really know what we are doing playing God. How can we as the human race create something when we don't even know everything about ourselves, let alone a different species. At this point, the Liger males are sterile and cannot reproduce, so the only offspring would be from liger females and other lion or tigers, but eventually that will change because nature will always find a way to reproduce. When that happens we don't know what will happen, especially in nature if any of them were introduced to the wild. So even though they may be gorgeous creatures, the future implications of it are unknown and possibly terrifying.

(see "taxonomy" in any Biology science text) Ethically, i would have to agree that genetic engineering can straddle the fence between morality too easily. From a religious perspective, evolution should be left in the hands of the Source of All Things. However, from the scientific perspective, it is exteme facination, due, in part, to its surreal-ness. I don't think anyone can honestly say to themselves that they wouldn't treasure the experience of being in the presence of such a divine animallian spirit. The pride of a Lion with the Powerful Cunning of a Tigress= Liger. I heard: 1) Ligers are only Male, 2) Ligers are born sterile and cannot produce offspring, 3) Ligers are as big as, or bigger than, the now extinct; Sabertooth-ed Tiger >>>>>>Someone Prove me wrong>>> evan.vega@mail.laguardia.edu thankyou It seems that these Liger creatures are an anomaly to the grand scheme of the tree of evolution.

I saw the reportage on discovery channel :) I like the species :) A tiger can jump round 3.5meters high.. A liger doens't have to jump to reach the same height.. SUPER ;) that’s sinbad. specially bred en raised by experts..
