3. A Male Tiger and A Female Lion

The offspring of a male tiger and a female lion is called a tigon. Majestic like his mother and fierce like his father, a tigon is one of the few possible hybrid offspring.

The tigon can have stripes from his father and spots from his mother.

They do not get larger or heavier than their parents and their weight goes around 400 lbs., in the meantime the liger’s( the hybrid resulted from a male lion and female tiger) weight is over 1200 lbs.

Unfortunately, the tigon and the liger can be found only in captivity since the lion and tiger’s habitats don’t usually overlap.
