Lions and Tigers can have fertile offspring, eh? I gotta see if I can find a picture of that. Bet it's cute looking.

I always thought the Liger was just something made up in the fevered minds of the Japanese.

Neat study too by the way.

Edit: Huh weird. They're bigger then either of their parents... and are only made by Male lions and female Tigers... is it not possible to work the other way? That's called a Tigon... weird.

 

Well I'll be, never looked into that one. Apparently male Ligers are sterile, wheras female Ligers can reproduce, obviously with either a Tiger or a Lion as the males are sterile. It still holds that Ligers are non-viable offspring though, as the males are indeed sterile. Still that's a definate case of blurring the lines between the species, one of many.
