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.

Are ligers manmade?

Yes they are. A liger is the offspring of a male lion and a female tiger. Since the ranges of these two species do not overlap in the wild it is exceedingly unlikely that any such hybrid would occur without human assistance.

How big is the paw of a liger?

Good question. I have a fossil of a footprint it is the 4 toe cat that is close to 4.5 inches. The mountain lion (The largest cat in the US) has a size of just over 4 inches. So, if you find a bigger fossil footprint then I have. Then saber tooth tiger has a larger footprint.

What biome does a liger live in?

Grassland and or a forest. Most tigers live in forests and hunt in the grassland, though Siberian (Amur) tigers live and hunt in the forest.

Why ligers are infertile?

Ligers are infertile because since tigers and lions are different species, they can mate with each other but produce infertile offspring due to mutations that occured as the two species evolved apart from one another. Similarly, horses and donkeys can mate to produce mules, but the mules are infertile.

How fat are ligers?

http://pics-4-u.blogspot.com/2007/04/liontiger-big-fat-ligertigon.html wikipedia.org Size and growth Imprinted genes may be a factor contributing to huge liger size.[3] These are genes that may or may not be expressed on the parent they are inherited from, and that occasionally play a role in issues of hybrid growth. For example, in some dog breed crosses, genes that are expressed only when maternally-inherited cause the young to grow larger than is typical for either parent breed. This growth is not seen in the paternal breeds, as such genes are normally "counteracted" by genes inherited from the female of the appropriate breed The tiger produces a hormone that sets the fetal liger on a pattern of growth that does not end throughout its life. The hormonal hypothesis is that the cause of the male liger's growth is its sterility - essentially, the male liger remains in the pre-pubertal growth phase. Male ligers also have the same levels of testosterone on average as an adult male lion. In addition, female ligers also attain great size, weighing approximately 700 lb (320 kg) and reaching 10 feet (3.05 m) long on average, and are often fertile[citation needed]. In contrast, pumapards (hybrids between pumas and leopards) tend to exhibit dwarfism.

Where do tigons live?

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.

Which breed of tigers is there most?

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.

What happens when a liger mates with a tigon?
