Yes, Ligers do exist however tigon is not a term used often because it is also a word for a dragon and tiger hybrid (which obviously doesn't exist) hope this helps!

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.

No. Zorses (horse x zebra) are infertile, meaning that they cant have babies. I also think it is the same about ligers and tigons. Although they do have a distinct gender.
