The liger is a hybrid cross between a male lion and a female tiger (not to be confused with a tigon). It is the largest of all cats and extant felines.

If I remember correctly, they get so large because the male lion passes on a gene that encourages growth, while the lioness passes on one that controls growth. The female tiger doesn’t have a growth-inhibiting gene, so ligers just get huge.
no if u take it the other way around, the offspring of a male tiger and a female lion u get a Tigon, which is smaller than the Liger because of the female lions growth gens…

Strangely, this is part of the open source body of evidence that people have had sex with apes.

Whoa…big kitty. Put a saddle on it and it looks like something out of World of Warcraft.
Get that thing away from me and bring me a nice, harmless, cuddly spider.
@...LostOne: It’s too bad you have to grind rep for six months to get one as a mount.
Cool, but not as deadly as a THUNDER LIGER!!!!
such tiny legs…some daschhund thrown in there? it looks like I could just maybe outwalk it to the car.
Does anyone know what these are primarily bred for?
@...suicydking:
Rugs.
@...suicydking: They’re primarily bred for their skills in magic.

@...zephyr: Is it always a male lion and female tiger? If so, why?
no if u take it the other way around, the offspring of a male tiger and a female lion u get a Tigon, which is smaller than the Liger because of the female lions growth gens…
