Do you know that Ligers and Tigons are born without any genetic engineering that had been done by human? In Singapore, which is known as lion country, they detected that in the lion and tiger conservation, there are some lions and tigers mating each other. The results are Ligers and Tigons were born...and you should know this, now Ligers are the biggest cat in the world!!

This is the information that I got...

Long ago, outside the old city of Singapore, which was considered to be the city of Lions, there was reported to be giant brown beasts. This was before the Asiatic lion was reduced to such low numbers that their are now less than 200 left in the Gir forest. This huge animal might just be an explanation for this myth, for he is neither a lion nor a tiger, but he is about the size of both of them combined. The liger is the world's largest big cat. An average male liger weighs over 900 pounds and standing almost 12 feet tall.

The first liger cubs known to exist were born in 1823 in England; the cubs' parents shared a den at an exhibit and frequently mated. Today, the breed can be found in numerous zoos and animal sanctuaries throughout the world.

This is not true. There have never been any recorded natural mating between lions and tigers in the wild.

No, because they need very special health needs and cannot survive on their own therefore they cannot. Also when Ligers are breed in circuses when they get to big they get thrown in the wild so they usually die in less than a week in the wild because of their health needs which are almost never met

No. Ligers are not wild animals. They are bred only in captivity and are a cross between a tiger and a lion.
