Description: A liger is a hybrid animal that results from the cross breeding of lion and tigress. Ligers are twice bigger than lions and tigers as they weigh more than 900 pounds.
A liger is a hybrid big cat that results from the crossbreeding of a lion and a tiger. A liger has a male lion as its father and a tigress as its mother. Since lions and tigers are very closely related species, therefore; the crossbreeding in between these two animals to produce is liger is highly possible. It should be very important to note here that all the ligers are born in captivity and so far there has never been any evidence of a liger's birth in the wild.
However; according to the experts this phenomena of crossbreeding of a lion and a tigress in the wild to produce a liger would have happened thousands of years ago, when there were hundreds of thousands of lions and tigers living at different overlapping territories on planet earth. Unfortunately; there is no common territory in the world right now where both lions and tigers co-habit.
