Yes, a Tigon or Liger is Sterile, Just like a Mule. Most Cross-species are sterile.
WIKIANSWER I AM VERY MAD AT YOU RIGHT NOW!!!!!!! how dare you have a question like this on this website,, ligers are my friends , ligers are my life. BAd Rhonda
Well Hercule the biggest Liger in the world is expected to reach over 1,000 pounds 12 feet long. It doesnt say how tall he is on all fours but i world put him at compared to that man 5'9. Not at the shoulder
Zoos, primarily. Tigons are not found in the wild, same with ligers or any hybrid animal only able to be created by human intervention.
A tiglon is the rare hybrid offspring of a male tiger and female lion. Tigers generally range naturally in Asia, including India, while lions generally range naturally in Africa and India. Therefore, tiglons would generally exist naturally where the range of these two species overlap - in India. Also, some zoos breed for these hybrids, so they do exist in captivity in other parts of the world.
The most abundant species of tiger at the moment is the Amur, or Siberian tiger, which is also the biggest in size. The others, which are the Indian, Bengal, and Indonesian tigers, are much lower in numbers and are barely clinging to survival. Even the Siberian tiger is endangered to the hundreds. These creatures really need some help getting back on their feet because the Chinese are hunting them for their body parts because they are ingredients in many traditional medicines that don't even work. Also, their habitat is getting destroyed and people are hunting them for killing livestock and people. It makes no sense to me. The people are the ones encroaching on their territory and driving all of the prey the tigers usually eat away or hunting the prey as well. They are the ones forcing the tigers to turn to other means of survival, and their blaming the tigers? They need to blame themselves for their actions and give some territory back to the tigers.
Probably nothing, as the males tend to be sterile.
Ligers are a cross breed between a lion and a tiger. Generally they are all in captivity so they do not hunt.
im pretty sure the first liger was born in 1824 because of a man named Thomas Atkins and his son John Atkins. If im wrong plz correct me! :)
I don't really know, but someone can find out for me!!! expecially those heka smart people.
Ligers only appear in some zoos and similar places, so they don't really need to protect themselves. If there's a conflict between a liger and another big cat, it'll defend itself with claws and teeth as you would expect.
Do you know that Ligers and Tigons are born without any genetic engineering that had been done by human? In Singapore, which is known as lion country, they detected that in the lion and tiger conservation, there are some lions and tigers mating each other. The results are Ligers and Tigons were born...and you should know this, now Ligers are the biggest cat in the world!!
This is the information that I got...
Long ago, outside the old city of Singapore, which was considered to be the city of Lions, there was reported to be giant brown beasts. This was before the Asiatic lion was reduced to such low numbers that their are now less than 200 left in the Gir forest. This huge animal might just be an explanation for this myth, for he is neither a lion nor a tiger, but he is about the size of both of them combined. The liger is the world's largest big cat. An average male liger weighs over 900 pounds and standing almost 12 feet tall.
The first liger cubs known to exist were born in 1823 in England; the cubs' parents shared a den at an exhibit and frequently mated. Today, the breed can be found in numerous zoos and animal sanctuaries throughout the world.
This is not true. There have never been any recorded natural mating between lions and tigers in the wild.
In the same way as all mammals do. First of all the male and female have sex leading to the fertilisation of of the ovum that the female lion caries. To cut a long story short, once that is done the ovum develops into a cub in the womb of the female lion.
Most lionesses will have reproduced by the time they are four years of age.
Lions do not mate at any specific time of year, and the females are polyestrous. As with other cats, the male lion's penis has spines which point backwards. Upon withdrawal of the penis, the spines rake the walls of the females vagina, which may cause ovulation. A lioness may mate with more than one male when she is in heat; during a mating bout, which could last several days, the couple copulates twenty to forty times a day and are likely to forgo eating.
During a mating bout, a couple may copulate 20 to 40 times a day for several days
The average gestation period is around 110 days, the female giving birth to a litter of one to four cubs in a secluded den (which may be a thicket, a reed-bed, a cave or some other sheltered area) usually away from the rest of the pride. She will often hunt by herself whilst the cubs are still helpless, staying relatively close to the thicket or den where the cubs are kept. (wikipedia)
Ligers are so playful! and also ligers like swimming! cool right?
The liger is stronger and bigger in size with the tiger. Ligers are mixed male lion and a female tiger. A tiger may be found naturally in Asia, while ligers are hybrids "made" by unnatural breeding through human intervention and only found in certain private Collections.
yes! mammals are those animals which give direct birth to their children and feed them with milk.
The largest extinct lions were around 700 pounds, while ligers can top 900 pounds. The mega-lion stood 2 meters tall and 4 meters in length.
Actually hisory channel says the mega lion is the longest, heaviest cat that ever lived.
No, since Ligers are a breed of tigers and lions they can't breed on because of their genes.
Answer: The above is incorrect.
Female tigons and ligers have often proved to be fertile and can mate with a lion, tiger or in theory with another species such as leopard or jaguar. Tigons and ligers have been mated together to produce ti-ligers (tig-ligers). Tigers and tigons have been mated to produce ti-tigons. Ti-ligers and ti-tigons are more tigerlike (75% tiger). Ti-tigons resemble golden tigers but with less contrast in their markings. During the late 1970s/early 1980s, the Shambala Preserve had both a tigon and a ti-tigon. Noelle, the tigon, was born in 1978. Believing that big cats are always infertile, staff allowed Noelle to share an enclosure with a male Siberian tiger called Anton. In 1983, Noelle produced a ti-tigon name Nathaniel. Being 75% tiger, Nathaniel had darker stripes than his mother and he "spoke" tiger rather than the mix of sounds used by his mother. Being only 25% lion, Nathaniel did not grow a mane. He died age 8 or 9 years old due to cancer. Noelle also developed cancer and died soon after. It is possible that the mix of genes contributed to the illness.
A normal non-obese liger weighs around 900 to 1000 pounds. However, a liger can grow and gain weight beyond that as well. The highest recorded weight for a liger was in Wisconsin. That liger weighed 1600 pounds. So my answer is that at maximum a liger can weigh around maximum 1600 to 1800 pounds. That is very huge.
