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.

Ligers are not recognized as a specie since they aren't naturally occuring.
