But, under the (cruel/ creative) act of human, a male lion and a female tiger mate and give birth to a Liger. Not one, it happened to many around the world. There are also Tigon which is the offspring of male tiger and female lion. Unfortunately, due to the special genetics it has, Ligers and Tigons do not seem to have a long life. Mostly was born with defects and died young.
"A liger looks like a giant lion with muted stripes but like their tiger ancestors, ligers like swimming. This goes against the nature of a lion but is what makes creature special. It gets the best of both parents."
I was totally surprised when I saw this from the Channel U documentary show - Approaching Science.
An eye-opener indeed.
What is human doing?
Many said it's part of the ways to understand human genetics. Is that true?
Another selfish act of human or foolish act of human?
#There are two sides to every question.

There is also Tigon, also a lion + tiger mix, but it is smaller than Liger.
I think either the female of male liger is sterile.
