    Yes! And I got to pet some at the Mall of the Mainland! They were babies, of course. MySpace is being gay and not letting me upload, but here’s a pic from the net:

  6. Piglet! Had this To Say

  7. Ready to see Friday the 13th Had this To Say

    my friend just told me about that today but yes it is reaL

  8. Sharklover Had this To Say

    Yes,
    They have one in a zoo in California, I believe. They aren’t traditionally bred because they are susceptible to many diseases and early death
    Here is a pic of one

    Yes, they do exist in captivity but not in nature because lions and tigers would never mate in nature.
    Ligers are sterile, though. They cannot produce offspring.

  10. Ian M Had this To Say

    Yes.

    Only ever bred in captivity. In the natural world they would never meet, lions being limited to Africa and tigers limited to Asia.

  12. jmssky Had this To Say

    ya, its huge

  13. Math Geek Had this To Say

    Yes, it was genetic experiment created in a lab, at least I think. I could be completely wrong

  14. astilden Had this To Say

    Of course they’re real. They’ve been bred dozens of times before though they are sterile so they can’t reproduce just like most hybrids.

  15. hidinshadows Had this To Say

    just adding on yes it is possible, but will never happen in the wild. Mainly in zoos where the two species will interact. I remember recently a zookeeper was attacked by a liger in the zoo. It was on yahoo news and even on television.
