Animals & Wildlife (Q&A)

Answer:

The liger is a hybrid cross between a male lion (Panthera leo) and a tigress (Panthera tigris), hence has parents with the same genus but of different species. Ligers vary in appearance depending on how the genes interact and on which subspecies of lion and tiger are bred together. The basic colour of lion/tiger hybrids is pale ochre to rust yellow-brown, more intensive than in the lion, but paler than in the tiger and with tiger striping. Ligers are larger than both their parents and often have a very limited life span as well as birth defects and other mutations.
