Liger

The liger is a big cat born from the breeding of a male lion and a female tiger. This genetic combination produces an offspring with more lion features than if the reverse mating had occurred. A member of genus Panthera, it has not been assigned a scientific name because of its human-assisted ancestry.

Superb starlings use a variety of defense mechanisms to protect themselves from predators, including agility in flight to evade capture, alarm calls to warn the flock, and mobbing behavior to intimidate and drive away predators.

Are ligers manmade?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes they are. A liger is the offspring of a male lion and a female tiger. Since the ranges of these two species do not overlap in the wild it is exceedingly unlikely that any such hybrid would occur without human assistance.

How big is the paw of a liger?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Good question. I have a fossil of a footprint it is the 4 toe cat that is close to 4.5 inches. The mountain lion (The largest cat in the US) has a size of just over 4 inches. So, if you find a bigger fossil footprint then I have. Then saber tooth tiger has a larger footprint.

What biome does a liger live in?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Grassland and or a forest. Most tigers live in forests and hunt in the grassland, though Siberian (Amur) tigers live and hunt in the forest.

Sometimes the forests are rain forests, but some are just... forests. It depends on what subspecies of tiger you're looking at.

Liger males are generally sterile, so there hasn't been any liger offspring yet.

Why ligers are infertile?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Ligers are infertile because since tigers and lions are different species, they can mate with each other but produce infertile offspring due to mutations that occured as the two species evolved apart from one another. Similarly, horses and donkeys can mate to produce mules, but the mules are infertile.

How fat are ligers?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

http://pics-4-u.blogspot.com/2007/04/liontiger-big-fat-ligertigon.html wikipedia.org Size and growth Imprinted genes may be a factor contributing to huge liger size.[3] These are genes that may or may not be expressed on the parent they are inherited from, and that occasionally play a role in issues of hybrid growth. For example, in some dog breed crosses, genes that are expressed only when maternally-inherited cause the young to grow larger than is typical for either parent breed. This growth is not seen in the paternal breeds, as such genes are normally "counteracted" by genes inherited from the female of the appropriate breed The tiger produces a hormone that sets the fetal liger on a pattern of growth that does not end throughout its life. The hormonal hypothesis is that the cause of the male liger's growth is its sterility - essentially, the male liger remains in the pre-pubertal growth phase. Male ligers also have the same levels of testosterone on average as an adult male lion. In addition, female ligers also attain great size, weighing approximately 700 lb (320 kg) and reaching 10 feet (3.05 m) long on average, and are often fertile[citation needed]. In contrast, pumapards (hybrids between pumas and leopards) tend to exhibit dwarfism.
