    Yes. They used to have one in a zoo somewhere around Provo, UT.

  2. Pam Had this To Say

    Yes I’ve seen one, at King Richards Fair in Carver, MA. Half lion, half tiger, no stripes, very large. Looks more like a huge female lion.

  3. Big B Had this To Say

    Of course, silly!
    Just like there is a gelephaunt, a liraffe, and a thino! (half giraffe and elephaunt, half lion and giraffe, and half tiger and rhino)

  4. Draga Had this To Say

    yes the mom was a lion and the dad a tiger

  5. Stick-ni Had this To Say

    yes.

  6. Carl J Had this To Say

    I believe that there is, and I think Seifried and Roy have one. I think that they are a cross-bred however, and cannot breed true.

  7. Sorcha Had this To Say

    Yes! It is cross between a lion and a tiger. They are mostly bred for their magical properties.

  8. Becky C Had this To Say

    yes

  9. Sweetpea Barbie Had this To Say

    Sure. GOSH!

  10. KAREN A Had this To Say

    heck yeah there is!

  11. Mary Lynn Had this To Say

    Yes, a cross between a Tiger and a Lion. Most of the time, the resulting cub of this kind of breeding is sterile; just like the cross between a donkey and a horse: A mule.

    The liger is real baby. Here’s the wiki.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liger

  15. AsianPersuasion :) Had this To Say

    Yes, there is

  16. Joy22 Had this To Say

    There is. I just saw a show on the National Geographic Channel about them. They are the result of a male lion and a female tiger breeding and they are the even bigger than lions.
    There is also something a called a tigon, which is a male tiger and a female lion.

  17. itsme_ra Had this To Say

    Yes and there is also a tigon. A liger is a cross between a male lion and a female tiger; a tigon is a cross between a male tiger and a female lion. I am quoting the following:
    ===========
    Male ligers are sterile, but female ligers are fertile and can be bred to tigers (resulting in ti-ligers) or to lions (resulting in li-ligers). Ti-ligers are more tiger-like, having a greater percentage of tiger genes. Li-ligers are more lion-like, having a greater percentage of lion genes. Neither are common. The fertility of hybrid big cat females is well documented across a number of different hybrids. This is in accordance with Haldane’s rule: in hybrids of animals whose gender is determined by sex chromosomes, the heterogametic sex (the one with two different sex chromosomes e.g. X and Y) is either absent, rare or sterile.

    yes

  19. minerva7 Had this To Say

    Yep. It’s a very rare – though real – crossbreed. I’ve heard that circus people did it in order to get the strange, exotic animals that people wanted to see.

  20. ttazever Had this To Say

  21. darbicat Had this To Say
