Which is the successful cross of Lion and Tiger?
The Liger is the largest of the world's biggest cats, known to grow up to 12ft tall when standing on their hind legs. Created by the mating of a male Lion with a female Tiger. The Liger generally has a more Lion-like appearance. The Liger also inherited the spots found on the backs of Tigers ears along with the tufted fur around their chins. In the wild, it is common for Tigers to enter water either to catch prey or to cool down in the heat and so they are naturally good swimmers, which is something that the Liger seems to have inherited. Another odd thing is the fact that the Liger appears to make both Lion and Tiger noises but it's roar is more like that of a Lion's. The reason as to why Ligers would be rarely produced in the wild is that if a male Lion and a female Tiger came across one another, they are much more likely to fight to defend their territory or avoid one another completely in order to avoid risk getting hurt.
