A liger is the offspring of a male lion and female tiger, and a tigon is the offspring of a male tiger and female lion. Ligers tend towards gigantism and usually grow larger than their parents, whilst tigons are often smaller or at least no bigger than their parents. Like most hybrids, both ligers and tigons are nearly always sterile, but occasionally a female will be fertile and can be bred back to one of the parent species, producing:
Liger + lion = li-liger
Liger + tiger = ti-liger
Tigon + lion = li-tigon
Tigon + tiger = ti-tigon

A liger is a hybrid offspring between a male lion and a female tiger. A Tigon is a hybrid offspring between a female lion and a male tiger.
A LIGER is the off-spring of a MALE LION and a FEMALE TIGER.
A TIGON is the off-spring of a MAIL TIGER and a FEMALE LION.
They’re hybrid babies produced by the loving antics of lions and tigers.
