    Liger? Real or fake???

    http://www.naturesafariindia.com/liger.html

    This is the article on this huge cat.
    Lets see what everyone thinks, that is one huge kitty.

    Just so everyone understands its saying this animal is a Tiger and a lion offspring. So im not sure if its true what do you think?

    I have actually seen ONE of those in person, but I don't think it was that big. I'm not a big fan of hybrids though.

    They're real. They have been around for a number of years now. You're just catching on to these animals?

    They do suffer from genetic defects if I'm not mistaken.

    Yes, they are real.

    A liger is actually a male lion and a female tiger - while they call a male tiger and a female lion a tigon.

    Only the female ligers and tigons are fertile though.

    I believe a liger is a cross between a male lion and female tiger. And there is also a Tigon which is a cross between a male tiger and female lion.
