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

   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.

   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)

   yes the mom was a lion and the dad a tiger

5. Stick-ni on September 29, 2009 10:50 AM

   yes.

   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.

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

8. Becky C on September 29, 2009 11:55 AM

   yes

9. Sweetpea Barbie on September 29, 2009 12:27 PM

   Sure. GOSH!

10. KAREN A on September 29, 2009 1:06 PM

    heck yeah there is!

11. Mary Lynn on September 29, 2009 1:10 PM

    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.

    Hell yeah, they are HUGE! There is also a Tigon.

13. McCain is lovely. on September 29, 2009 1:56 PM

    i think so.

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

15. AsianPersuasion :) on September 29, 2009 2:20 PM

    Yes, there is

16. Joy22 on September 29, 2009 2:44 PM

    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 on September 29, 2009 3:24 PM

    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 on September 29, 2009 4:34 PM

    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 on September 29, 2009 5:23 PM

    only if you are on Napoleon dynamite

21. darbicat on September 29, 2009 5:32 PM

    yes! But it looks NOTHING like the liger off of napolion dinamite!

22. irishmom on September 29, 2009 6:06 PM

    yes…google it

23. parachut on September 29, 2009 6:56 PM
