A cross between a male lion and a female tiger. Amazing.

There was a panther i think which was lose near where i live...escaped from a circus. I didnt believe it at first but then it was on the BBC website and everything. It attacked a man apparently.

As for the Liger, it looks quite cool. Wouldnt mind it as a pet! Good Security and all that. That one looks nice and tame. Would be good backup though if any chavs walk up to you and want your phone or something!

A normal tiger grows up to 3m anyway

That thing is huge.

Its called a hybrid i think, but if you keep breeding them and making more and more ligers, eventually ud get a whole new species that is fertile..a mutant species i believe thy are called...genius

Get breeding people

That would be me.

Who ate all the 20 year old hippy zoo keepers?

Indeed it would....we could create a whole new species of animals from all over the world and hopefully we won't make these become extinct.

It'd be interesting to see if other animals could breed like this... I'm sure it must be possible within certain types of animals.

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
