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

What is a example of hybrid?

An example is a liger ( male Lion + female Tiger = Liger ) and Tigon ( female lion + male Tiger = Tigon)Liger:The liger is a cat born from the breeding of a male lion and a female tiger. This combination produces an offspring with more lionistic features than if the reverse pairing had occurred. That would produce a more tigeristic creature known as a tigon. Both are members of genus Panthera.There is no scientific name assigned to this animal because of it's human assisted ancestry.A liger looks like a giant lion with muted stripes but like their tiger ancestors, ligers like swimming. This goes against the nature of a lion but is what makes creature special. It gets the best of both parents. That is not always the case though with crossbreeds. Sometimes the results go the other way and the animal gets theworst of both parents.Other Hybridization from this species:Lion + liger = li-ligerLion + tigon = li-tigonTiger + liger = ti-ligerTiger + tigon = ti-tigon
