Is there such a thing as a Liger? Tiger %26amp; Lion mix. ?
Yes there is, but sadly there should not be since they are not a natural species. People breed them out of greed and it has caused horrid genetic problems. There are also tigons.





Check out the below link....

Reply:Yes, a liger is a lion-tiger hybrid, produced by breeding a male lion with a female tiger. The offspring of a male tiger and female lion is called a tigon. These are man-made animals that do not occur in the wild.





Ligers tend towards gigantism and usually grow larger than either of their parents, whilst tigons tend towards dwarfism and are usually smaller than their parents. Ligers are generally a tawny colour with faint, faded stripes, whilst tigons are usually darker with more pronounced stripes. Males in both cases often have a short ruff of mane, rather like that of a juvenile male lion - this tends to be more pronounced in ligers than in tigons. Their faces are often a rather odd shape, somewhere between a lion's and a tiger's features.





As with most hybrids, both ligers and tigons are nearly always sterile, but occasionally a female will be fertile. For example, a female tigon housed with a male tiger surprised her keepers by producing a single cub, referred to as a ti-tigon.
Reply:Yes, there is.





I watched a television show the other night that was talking about 'ligers', and even had one. It was very interesting.





I do not have a link, but it was either on the Science channel or Discovery channel. I am sure you can do a Google search and come up with some good links.
Reply:indeed there is. There are also Tions Ti-Ligers and Li-Tions depending on the mix of hybridization and which was the mother . Look on wikipedia for this one.
Reply:To agree with everyone else, yes there are indeed Ligers (and Tions). Ligers are a male Lion and female tiger, Tions are male Tigers and female Lions.





See how it works?





Hope I've helped, even if just a teeny tiny bit!
