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.

Can a tigon mate with another tigon and produce another tigon?

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

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.
