This is an animal which I never knew of until the college days and when I found them to be pretty interesting when I came to know about them. I have never seen any of them in real life yet but would like to see one. They are the offspring from the crossbreeding of a lion and a tiger more specifically, male lion as its father and a tigress as its mother. You can look up what a lioness and a male tiger offspring is if you don't know by any chance. Have you seen such a beast in virtual or even in real life? Image:liger.com

I felt a bit shocked too to see such an animal the first time.

@WiseGhots I thought the picture to be photoshopped the first time I saw them.

I find it perverse to create such hybrids. What for?

Yes, they can have genetic abnormalities.

@Sojourn Such hybrids can't have offspring, so that wouldn't be a problem as far as I understand it.

@Sojourn Exactly. They should do more to save the original species.

Yes,they might seem interesting to look at but it is wrong to play with the lives of this poor creatures.

This is not a lion but a liger (lion + tiger) and we don't have this kind of animal here.

i've seen them in the news..but they have a problem with liger/tigon crossings..the genetic marker that tells them when to stop growing is turned off-so they end up HUGE.

I have heard of these, however I think they are not very common.

When I first saw it (only virtually),I thought it to be a fake photoshopped image.
