The liger is a hybrid cross between a male lion (Panthera leo) and a tigress (Panthera tigris). Thus, it has parents with the same genus but of different species. It is distinct from the similar hybrid tiglon. It is the largest of all known extant felines.[1][2]
Ligers enjoy swimming, which is a characteristic of tigers, and are
very sociable like lions. Ligers exist only in captivity because the
habitats of the parental species do not overlap in the wild.
Historically, when the Asiatic Lion was prolific, the territories
of lions and tigers did overlap and there are legends of ligers
existing in the wild. Notably, ligers typically grow larger than either
parent species, unlike tiglons which tend to be about as large as a female tiger.[
