Ligers are hybrids and the result of captive breeding. They are the offspring produced from cross breeding a male lion with a female tiger.
• Ligers don't occur in the wild. They result only from captive breeding.
There is no need to "help ligers." They are not in danger, simply because they do not occur naturally in the wild. They are a product of captive breeding.
They did not. Ligers are not a species in their own right or a natural occurrence. They are the result of the captive cross-breeding of a lion and a tiger.
Ligers are hybrids only found in captivity. They are the end result of mans curiosity, cross breeding a male lion and female tiger.
It has none. Ligers do not occur naturally in the wild- they were created through captive breeding.
Because they do not occur naturally in the wild. They were "invented" through captive breeding.
Ligers are not generally produced in the wild so only the fact that they are produced through the breeding of two superior predators might be an indication of their capability as a predator.
I'm not sure they would really be on the endanged list, as they are a hybrid caused by man cross breeding big cats. Most Ligers born are thought to be sterile, so the only way cubs are born are from the direct cross breeding of a Lion and a Tiger.
It has none. Ligers do not occur naturally in the wild- they were created through captive breeding.
Since ligers are created by human intervention by breeding a male lion with a female tiger, and cannot happen in the wild, they cannot be listed as endangered.
There is no average age that ligers live to. There have been records of them living into their twenties. But they very rarely survive that long. Because they are created through breeding two different species, almost all of them have birth defects causing a short lifespan compared to a tiger or a lion. They are prone to gigantism, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and depression. I would also like to enforce that the breeding of ligers is cruel both to the mother tiger and the liger cubs because of the numerous birth defects and the dangerous complications at birth.
yes ligers do
