When a Male lion and a female tiger mate, the cubs are called ligers.
When a Male tiger and a female lion mate, the cubs are called tigons.
Ligers are more common, because the mating process is easier. Ligers have stripes from the tiger and spots from the lion. On hind legs they can stand 12
feet tall at most they can weigh 1,000 pounds, but most weigh about 500
pounds making it the largest cat on earth. They eat about 30 pounds of food a day. There are about 100 ligers alive today, although they tend to have a shorter lifespan than lions and tigers, because they are more prone to cancer and other illnesses.
yes they can. it would be called a white tigon if the tiger was the boy or a white liger if the lion was the boy.

Nearly all tigons and ligers are sterile, like most hybrids. Occasionally a female will be fertile, but males are always sterile, so you could almost never breed them. You can, however, breed a fertile female back to one of the parent species. In this case, you get: Tigon + tiger = ti-tigon Tigon + lion = li-tigon Liger + tiger = ti-liger Liger + lion = li-liger Hope this helped! : ) / T_T / : P / > / O_O / : D / X_X
a liton A liger can live anywhere a lion or tiger would live
A Tigon Tigon is if the father is a tiger, if the father is a lion, it is called a liger.
Ligers are much, much larger. For some reason switching the mother makes the Tigon a whole lot smaller, and seeing as animals don't know what they are doing the bigger one is going to win. A liger would win the fight, because the liger is the biggest cat in the world before the tigon and tiger.
A mule is a cross between a horse and donkey. A Liger and a Tigon are both Lion/Tiger crosses.
The cross between a Tiger and a Lion. I think it is technically a Tiger (male) and a Lionness (female) that make that subspecies, though I may be thinking of a Liger. The Liger is a cross-breed between a MALE lion & a FEMALE tiger.
