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.

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?

What do ligers eat in the wild?
There are no wild ligers. They are all in zoos and private collections. They don't have to hunt, and get fed meat by their keepers.
What are the advantages of a liger?
Apart from size not a lot, ligers are notorious for genetic defects.
Why is a liger bigger than a tigon?
A Liger is the result of a male Lion breeding with a female Tiger. So i assume that a Tigon the result of a male Tiger breeding with a female lion.
Ligers grow to lenths over 10 feet, tigons get large muscle mass.
Ligers eat raw meat. They generally don't like chicken, but will consume almost everything else. Ligers can eat from between 30 and 50 pounds of meat every day.
"Ligers" are hybrids of a male lion and a female tiger (tigress). They are not found in the wild because they live on entirely different continents and, without human intervention, would not be physically located where they could mate. Since they are not in the wild, they eat what is provided by their keepers, the same as all captive big cats eat. This is usually horse meat, beef, or chicken. Some are fed a concoction of raw eggs and milk one day a week.
They are carnivors ligers eat many kinds of animals mainly pork and things people feed them they eat horseor zebra
a mix of birds, cows, and pigs, mabye even real afican animals like zebra and antolope.
meat allot meat. also fruit. they cant be found in a Continent but in you local zoo. you can learn more from your local zookeeper at the zoo.
Are tigons and ligers extinced?
Yes, Ligers do exist however tigon is not a term used often because it is also a word for a dragon and tiger hybrid (which obviously doesn't exist) hope this helps!
Ligers do not occur naturally in the wild because the species used to create them, lions and tigers don't live in the same places. However, it is said that a liger has better eyesight than tigers and lions, and ligers are much larger than either of the other animals.
What is the size of the liger?
About as big as tigers or lions.
Ligers can grow much bigger than either, up to 800-1000 pounds. They can weigh 705 lb (320 kilo) on average, the maximum size for them is 900 lb (408 kilo). They can grow 10 ft (3.1 meter) from head to tail.
ligers can grow to be 16 to 19 feet long.
Ligers grow between 10 to 12 feet in length, and can be between 360 and 450 kg in weight. They grow bigger than both Lions and Tigers.
Male ligers do not stop growing for as long as they live. Hercules the Liger weighed about 700 lb. I think he's still alive.
Ligers are the largest animals, in the extant felines group. At adult size, generally these ligers reach ten feet in size, and weigh around seven - hundred pounds.
What does a liger need to survive?
Ligers eat raw meat. They generally don't like chicken, but will consume almost everything else. Ligers can eat from between 30 and 50 pounds of meat every day.

Who would win a liger or a tiger?
A LIGER V.S. A TIGER WOULD BE GREAT FIGHT BUT A LIGER WOULD PROABLY WIN. IF THE LIGERS WERENT SO SPOILED THEY COULD PROABLY EAT TIGERS A LIGER V.S. A TIGER WOULD BE GREAT FIGHT BUT A LIGER WOULD PROABLY WIN. IF THE LIGERS WERENT SO SPOILED THEY COULD PROABLY EAT TIGERS
Can a liger produce a offspring?
Actually the liger cannot reproduce to give birth to more ligers. Females can easily breed with male tigers and lions, but all males fail to ever reach sexual maturity and therfore this man-made species would never survive in the wild.
How does a liger body covering adapt the animal to its enviorment?
the ligers coat is like a turtels shell.
Ligers have Lons,tigers,and phanteras as their relatives
