a Tigon is the result of breeding a male tiger with a female lion, while a Liger is the result of a male lion and a female tiger being bred. Ligers are the largest feline in the world but are unable to produce offspring so are not an actual feline.

∙ 12y agoYes. Ligers are even much stronger and bigger than siberian tigers. They have slightly longer teeth than lions and wider jaws than siberian tigers, which can make them produce a strong biting force. A liger could challenge a fight with a male grizzly bear, a brown bear, or even a polar bear. A lion or a tiger would get crushed by those bears.

∙ 14y agoOh, yes. Ligers are the biggest cats in the world, but they aren't officially the biggest because scientists argue that they are not a different species because they are hybrids. I would suggest typing the words 'big liger' into a search engine and click images to see what I mean. They are 12 feet long. Extremely huge! Much longer than your sofa or couch at home.

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.
