Apparently taken from Wild Cats of the World (1975) by C. A. W. Guggisberg.

but doesn't that mean that you'll never be able to breed "pure" tigons or ligers, because the only way they can breed is with tigers or lions. therefore, they'll never breed for more than a couple of generations before their traits are pushed to the depths of recession.

also, this thread makes me want a pumapard ^___^

The point isn't about Ligers and Tiglons so much as it is about the genetic compatibility of lions and tigrs which, according to that criteria, would make them members of the same species.
