What is the mix for a liger?

Ligers are a mixture between a male lion and a female tiger.


Where does the liger live?

Being bred now in captivity they are the result of a hybridation between a male lion and a female tiger, Ligers do not occur in the wild (with a VERY slim chance they ever did).Therefore they ONLY live or be found in captivity such as Zoos, breeding facilities and private wildlife facilities.There was thought to be a time when they did cross paths but since habitat loss for both species has occured to alarming levels, and now does not allow for species territory overlapping, the "in the wild" occurance possibilities are non existant.


Can ligers have babies?

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.
