The "Liger" is a hybrid that comes from a male lion mating with a female tiger. The result is not to be confused with the "Tigon", which is a somewhat different hybrid that comes from a female lion mating with a male tiger.
They are different from other animals because they are a hybrid. They are a cross between tigers and lions, bred by human means. There are no other cat hybrids in the world.
It's hard to say, but not really really. Since ligers are hybrid animals, cross between a lion and a tigress, and do not oocur in the wild as a viable species, they cannot be considered under any listing. And as long as there are tigers and lions, there can always be new ligers.
ligers are a hybrid animal,bred in captivity.

Since the liger is a hybrid species, cross between a lion and a tigress, it cannot be listed.
It is unknown how many ligers exist today. These animals only occur in captivity and estimates range from between 10 and 100.
Ligers are hybrid animals, resulting from the mating of a male lion and a female tiger. They do not exist in the wild and are mostly found in captivity. The hybridization occurs due to their geographical overlap in regions where lions and tigers inhabit.
A liger is a hybrid of a male lion and a female tiger.
a liger Actually, it's a tigon, or tiglon. Ligers are male lion/tigress hybirds.
Since Ligers to not occur naturally in the wild the only predator is really man. Although if there is a confrontation between animals it would most likely come from a lioness.
The scientific name for a liger is Panthera leo x Panthera tigris, which reflects its hybrid status as a cross between a lion (Panthera leo) and a tiger (Panthera tigris).
Ligers, being a hybrid cross between a male lion and a female tiger, do not have specific weather preferences unique to their hybrid nature. Like lions and tigers, ligers are generally found in regions with warm climates, such as savannas, grasslands, and tropical forests. They are adaptable to a range of weather conditions within these habitats, including hot and humid weather typical of their natural environments.
