Liger
The liger is a big cat born from the breeding of a male lion and a female tiger. This genetic combination produces an offspring with more lion features than if the reverse mating had occurred. A member of genus Panthera, it has not been assigned a scientific name because of its human-assisted ancestry.

yes a liger is real. You dont get them when a lion and a tigress mate. When a lioness and a tiger mate it is not called a tigion. Big cats, similarly to different breeds of dogs, can be cross bred. It is not something that has been documented as a natural occurance, but something forced by man. So that shows that is it now real! acttually they are dumb even though they don't exist. they are gay
What does sinusitis look like on a radiograph?
Air in sinuses will show up on a radiograph as black, but fluid will be cloudy or white (opaque). This helps the radiologist to identify fluid in the sinuses.
I think that is called a Mexican-American.
yes. ligers are part tiger, part lion. Lions and tigers would not meet in the wild, only in zoos. yes. ligers are part tiger, part lion. Lions and tigers would not meet in the wild, only in zoos.
Did your parents live with you correct or wrong?
it is up do you like your parent live with you.
if you like it, it is right.
if no, it is wrong.
Is there currently a liger at the San Diego Zoo?
As of May 2014, the San Diego Zoo does not have a liger. The zoo was opened in 1916 and has over 3,700 animals.
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
Who would beat the liger in the animal fight?
Only Crocs and Whales. Ligers average 1660 lbs but can easily reach 1760 lbs. Hercules the liger now stands 5.5 feet tall and is 16 feet long as usual he's 1660 lbs. So only 3000 pound crocs or 36+tons(up to 200) can destroy a Liger
ligers dnt have a niche they dnt occer in the wild so they dnt have a niche.
Crossing a male lion with a female tiger produces a liger. Conversely, A male tiger crossed with a female lion produces a tigon.
Ownership-wise, it is virtually impossible, and not recommended. Ligers are captive bred, and like any exotic animal you need to have a license to own one.
Getting one simply because "you really love them" is a horrible excuse to own one (and there is no excuse). They are extremely dangerous, and even though they don't occur naturally in the wild, they are still wild animals and are therefore unpredictable. Even a "friendly" liger is dangerous, for they are very powerful animals and could kill a human easily by simply giving a playful swat. This holds true for ANY large cat/large animal.
If you mean "How do ligers get created" then the answer is by breeding a male lion with a female tiger.
Being bred now in captivity they are the result of a hybridation between a male lion and a female tiger, Ligers do not occur in the wild (with a VERY slim chance they ever did)
.
Therefore they ONLY live or be found in captivity such as Zoos, breeding facilities and private wildlife facilities.
There was thought to be a time when they did cross paths but since habitat loss for both species has occured to alarming levels, and now does not allow for species territory overlapping, the "in the wild" occurance possibilities are non existant.
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.

There really isn't any threats except for humans which threatens really anything with its technology such as guns, knives, and other stabbing weapons. If you're asking what it threatens, then it threatens to destroy sheep, cows, and other defensless animals.
