9. Female Tiger and Male Lion

Born from a male tiger and female lion, the liger tends to be larger and heavier than its parents. This specie is believed to first appear in the 19th century, in India. The liger is the largest feline in the world.

As a matter of fact the largest liger, Hercules, got himself in the Guinness Book of World Records for being the largest living cat on Earth, weighing 418.2 kg. Their life expectancy goes from 13 to 18 years.

They tend to develop serious health issues such as: organ failure, cancer and sterility.

Fun fact: They like to swim, which lions don’t, but tigers love to.
