The Liger is the hybrid cross between the male Lion and female Tiger. Liger inherit characteristics from bot species. Ligers have tigers type striping pattern on a lion like tawny background.

Well, there are no tigers and lions in our area, so you can expect that I haven't seen a liger neither. This creature looks quite weird and damn...it's so tall on that picture!

I've never seen it before, but now. I think its a bit weird looking, as a combination of both the species and its not natural. Well I think most of the hybrids don't live for long and don't have the abilities that the originals posses?

just to keep you guys updated let me share some info on ligers, A liger is the offspring of a male lion and a female tiger, whilst the offspring of a male tiger and female lion is called a tigon. These are animals are only bred in captivity for the amusement of human beings, and do not occur in the wild, so they do not have a natural habitat. In a zoo they would be kept in a standard big cat enclosure, which would probably include rocks, logs, trees and a pool or stream of some kind. I'd suggest you just make a model of a cage for your project - that will get the general point across.
Ligers tend towards gigantism and usually grow larger than either of their parents, whilst tigons tend towards dwarfism and are usually smaller than their parents. Ligers are generally a tawny colour with faint, faded stripes, whilst tigons are usually darker with more pronounced stripes. Males in both cases often have a short ruff of mane, rather like that of a juvenile male lion - this tends to be more pronounced in ligers than in tigons. Their faces are often a rather odd shape, somewhere between a lion's and a tiger's features.
As with most hybrids, both ligers and tigons are nearly always sterile, but occasionally a female will be fertile. For example, a female tigon housed with a male tiger surprised her keepers by producing a single cub, referred to as a ti-tigon.I fortunately had an oppertunity to see one :)

Well thanks for telling me that, i didnt know anything about that term Liger, is it just a made up term. Anyways sounds good to be watching a new breed that you haven't seen before.

Hi Crazy Poster: No, I have never seen a Liger. In fact I have never thought that a Lion and a Tiger could be crossed. I find it really interesting and they look grat. THanks for sharing with us this video. Have a nice day.

Yes, I've seen on on TV, it was shown in Matanglawin hosted by Kuya Kim from the Philippines. There is a Filipino man who dares to take care of lion, tiger and this cross breed White Liger. So cute.
