Ligers are a hybrid made from a male lion and a female tiger. This generally only happens in captivity, although very rarely it does occur in the wild. Male ligers become sexually mature and will mate, but are sterile. Female ligers can reproduce. They are the largest member of the cat family. Hercules the liger is over 900 pounds and not obese. That is twice the size of a male lion. Ligers have the coloration of a lion and the patterns of a tiger. Ligers have the coloration of a lion, but the striped pattern of a tiger. They are very large.

someone else>>>>>>Actually, i have seen a Liger in real life, they had the poor thing in a glass display thing like at the zoo, It looks like a White tiger, and it has orange stripes, and yes the are large, the female ligers can get as big as a male Bengal tiger, and the males are a little bigger than that. Also, some may gain the characteristics of a lion, they can have a mane, and a fluff at the end of their tail, like a lion.
It is a very large cross breed of a lion and a tiger. It has a body of a tiger but much larger and mostly a face of a lion, it has a short mane. ( beard )
