∙ 13y agoA liger's life span is anywhere from 21-35 years. This wide range is due to the lack of information necessary to answer exactly what their life span is. In other words not enough ligers exist to create an average.

∙ 8y agoLigers in captivity live up to 25 years. There are no (or very few) ligers in the wild, so it is all but impossible to determine the life span of wild ligers.
The lifespan of a liger is between 10 and 14 years. This is roughly the same lifespan as tigers and lions.
This is true but a large amount of ligers are older the ones that die younger die because they contract a disease or are over fed The longest life of a liger is 24 years to a liger named Shasta
15 years

Can Ligers breed?
A "Liger" is cross-breed between a male lion and a female tiger. Ligers cannot make other ligers. As a general rule, the offspring of two different species are sterile and cannot reproduce (the only exceptions are between species that are very closely related, like lynx and bobcats). Ligers, the offspring of a male lion and a female tiger are closely enough related that a female liger is usually fertile, but a male liger is not. The same holds true for Tions or Tigons, which are the offspring of a male tiger and a female lion. Female tigons are usually fertile while male tigons are not fertile.
