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.

Does a liger have a female liger?
Normally no, the rule of thumb is that all hybrid animals are sterile because of their mismatched chromosomes but as in all things there are exceptions to the rule and there have even been several documented cases in which hybrid animals have unexpectedly given birth.
There have been about 6 cases of female ligers that have produce offspring but even so their fertility was low with the mothers producing only one cub at a time. To my understanding in all of the cases the mothers only gave birth once, now whether it was because of low fertility or they where just prevented from breding again I don't know but all of the births where just the single cub.
There has never been a liger cub born to two liger parents as there has never been any fertile male ligers, all of the cubs born to liger mothers where sired either by a male lion or tiger creating li-ligers or ti-ligers (depending on the father).
Theoretically a receptive liger could be bred to any other big cat such as a leopard or cougar making a three way hybrid but no such crosses have ever been recorded.
Which is the climate where ligers live?
It has none. Ligers do not occur naturally in the wild- they were created through captive breeding.
well a tiger isn't build like a horse or donkey it may be possible if verry tame and well trained but i don't bellive you should tame a tiger and you wouldn't be able to go verry far without being thrown of a horse,donkey and possibly a camel or maybe even a elephant but i don't recommend you ride any animal without proper training. my son has been begging me for a tiger on a game he plays i think its called wizard101 or something but to me the game seems verry childish and hes 15 so i don't think im going to be doing it for him any time soon he has plenty of real life horses he can ride sources:17 years of horse breeding and training
Do ligers live in heards or packs?
no they dont live with their parents. they need to be speapted. no they dont live with their parents. they need to be speapted.
NO. You are not supposed to have a liger as a pet . You are in great danger if you have one and you need a license to have one . If you get one you will probably take it back so as for there I highly recommend not to get one!
How long is a black panther's teeth?
about 3m depending of the panther, some can grow up to 4 and a half m in length
The liger survives in the same way that a lion or tiger would survive. It hunts and eats just like other animals.
Why are ligers much larger than lions or tigers?
A liger is called a liger because it is a lion and a tiger mix...rawr...:):)
Ligers weren't as much discovered as created. They're a hybrid between lions(from Africa) and tigers(from Asia), In nature there's no way for these two to meet, so they were bred in captivity, in zoos. There was a fad for hybrids like these once, which also led to hybrids between Polar bears and Grizzlys, and horses and zebras. A more recent example is the Bengal cat.
Do ligers live in the rainforest?
Ligers doesn't live anywhere in the wild.
Ligers are hybrids, a cross between lions and tigers, two species that wouldn't meet and breed unless humans forced them together.
On top of that, they're continents apart. Tigers come from Asia, lions from Africa and the amazon is in South America.
You wouldn't find a liger in the amazon unless a human would have released it there.
Since ligers do not occur in nature they are threatened by nothing. Ligers are the offspring of a lion and a tiger, and these animals only exist where they have been bred in captivity.
What is a group name for hoofed animals?
A Dawn Horse (Hyracotherium), dating roughly 50-55 million years ago.
Originally named Hyracotherium due to its easily noted similarity to the hyrax (rock badger), this tiny creature is generally considered by evolutionists to be the ancestor of a variety of extant mammals today, and most frequently included with the horse. It has been renamed Eohippus ("dawn horse") to fit this view, but there is still much debate over whether it is related to horses at all. Among other problems, its fossils have been found in the same rock layers as the species it supposedly evolved into. The traditional "horse evolution" chart still found in many high school biology textbooks is now considered to be obsolete or in great need of revision.
How many liger babies can be born in a litter?
30,000 sperm cells are released with every Liger ejaculate and science has shown that female ligers can ovulate up to 6,200 eggs at once so one could easily speculate a liger could have up to but not necessarily 6,200 cubs in a litter obviously there could be genetic mutations allowing more or less cubs to be born. I for one would not be surprised if one day we see a Liger having 20,000-25,000 cubs in one litter.
Rare reports have been made of tigresses mating with lions in the wild. Under exceptional circumstances it has been known for a tiger to be forced into ranges inhabited by the Asiatic Lion, Panthera Leo persica, which is a different species to the tiger, Panthera Tigris. This may have occurred in the Gir Forest in India where the ranges of Asiatic Lions and Bengal Tigers overlap. This combination of species in the wild however is considered highly unlikely.

How long and how fast can a liger run?
The Liger's top speed is about 50 mph (80 km/h), although they normally do not need to run at these speeds.but I heard that tigers and ligers can run 60 mph (96 km/h) at their maximam speed
What type of animal is a liger?
A liger is A big cat. just like a tiger or a cheetah. It is a lion and a tiger, mixed together!!
So ya, it is a big cat, just like any other big cat. Hope i answered your question
correctly. . . . . . . .
Is it true that ligers are real?
Yes, there are ligers. The Liger is a hybrid cross between a male lion and a female tiger (i.e, Panthera leo × Panthera tigris). A liger resembles a lion with diffused stripes. They are the largest cats in the world, although the Siberian Tiger is the largest "pure" taxon. Ligers and tigers enjoy swimming, whereas lions do not. A similar hybrid, the offspring of a male tiger and a female lion is called a tigon.
Big cats, similarly to different breeds of dogs, can be cross bred. It is not something that has been documented as a natural occurence, but something forced by man.
See links for more information.
yes because a lion and tiger can have a baby. It's not impossible but it's not common either.
Are ligers and tigons the same animal?
a Tigon is the result of breeding a male tiger with a female lion, while a Liger is the result of a male lion and a female tiger being bred. Ligers are the largest feline in the world but are unable to produce offspring so are not an actual feline.
Where were Ligers first discovered?
The liger came from where ever the tigress and lion came from if that's what ur asking.if wondering bout the name well it is when the lion and tigress mate if u don't already know that! if ur wondern where it is now it is in da san Diego zoo!
A liger is a mixture breed between a tiger and a lion. That is possible because their breeding mechanics are very similar. For that reason, ligers are hybrid and they live in captivity, mainly in zoos. They don't have a specific area from which they originate. Ligers were not introduced until the 1990s.
When lion and tigers mate what do you call their cubs?
The result of a tiger and lion mating is a liger.
What are some of the ligers enemies?
well, nothing eats a liger, but there are some animals that are enemies to a liger. for example a human or mabye a herd of bulls, etc. your welcome hope my answer is accurate because i wrote my best hope u appreciate my time and effort bye!!!!!!!!
