i'd love to see 10 of them let lose in a city.
Move over lion, we have a new king of the 'jungle'.
They have done this with other species such as Zebra's and some other animal.
Really wouldn't like one of those running at me.

I think that's right, they can't reproduce, and there's only a few animals who can mate outside-species and produce a hybrid. I believe it's a female horse and a male donkey that make a 'mule' and a male horse and a female donkey that make a 'hinny'. Oh, and when a male zebra and a female donkey mate, the hybrid is called a ‘zedonk’.
Edit; "Hinnies are difficult to obtain because of the differences in the number of chromosomes of the horse and the donkey. A donkey had 62 pairs, a horse 64. Sterility in the mule/hinny comes from the same reason...they have only 63 chromosomes. The uneven number results in an incomplete reproductive system. The male mule or hinny can and will mate, but will be "shooting blanks". It is considered best to geld (nueter)them, thus saving yourself some problems. Female hybrids may or may not go through heat cycles. There are a few very rare instances of horse/donkey hybrids becoming pregnant, but they almost always are unable to carry to term."

The females can, the males are infertile though.
Male + Female = Offspring
Lion + Tiger = Liger
Tiger + Lion = Tigon
Lion + Liger = Li-Liger
Lion + Tigon = Li-Tigon
Tiger + Liger = Ti-Liger
Tiger + Tigon = Ti-Tigon
