No, since Ligers are a breed of tigers and lions they can't breed on because of their genes.
Answer: The above is incorrect.
Female tigons and ligers have often proved to be fertile and can mate with a lion, tiger or in theory with another species such as leopard or jaguar. Tigons and ligers have been mated together to produce ti-ligers (tig-ligers). Tigers and tigons have been mated to produce ti-tigons. Ti-ligers and ti-tigons are more tigerlike (75% tiger). Ti-tigons resemble golden tigers but with less contrast in their markings. During the late 1970s/early 1980s, the Shambala Preserve had both a tigon and a ti-tigon. Noelle, the tigon, was born in 1978. Believing that big cats are always infertile, staff allowed Noelle to share an enclosure with a male Siberian tiger called Anton. In 1983, Noelle produced a ti-tigon name Nathaniel. Being 75% tiger, Nathaniel had darker stripes than his mother and he "spoke" tiger rather than the mix of sounds used by his mother. Being only 25% lion, Nathaniel did not grow a mane. He died age 8 or 9 years old due to cancer. Noelle also developed cancer and died soon after. It is possible that the mix of genes contributed to the illness.

∙ 8y agoLigers cannot have cubs because the male liger is sterile (no sperm). However, if a male lion or tiger mates with a female liger, they can have liger cubs. Because of this, ligers look very different from one another and vary in color, mane size, and stripe visibility.
Because they are a Hybrid breed. Like a mule. They are reproduced from two seperate species which has resulted in sterile offspring.
However, a Liger can actually reproduce. It was origanlly thought that since they were a Hybrid that they were infertile. However in Munich zoo a female Liger mated and successfully reproduced with a male lion. Showing that atleast the females are fertile.

∙ 12y agoThe majority of male ligers are sterile but in 1943 a male liger mated with a lion and produced a healthy offspring. So it's possible.

∙ 11y agoLigers cannot produce offspring. This is because they are a combination of two species, and the offspring of two different species are always sterile.

∙ 12y agoThe male ligers do not retain the effective genetic material or testosterone to impregnate the female liger. However, a female liger can be impregnated by a male lion or tiger.

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.
