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.

aah, right.

but i thought they had to produce "viable" offspring that could reproduce? and isn't it only the females who can?

Yeah, that's what I thought a species was.

 

And, just for the hell of it, more possible crosses between lions, tigers, panthers and leopards.
