Ligers

                              Introduction

Ligers are  a cross breed between a tiger and a lion. Ligers can be more like lions than tigers with their character. A liger is a big cat that is the offspring of a male lion and a female tiger. There is also something called a tigon. But this is the offspring of a female lion and male tiger. These two do look different even though they are offspring of the same animal. Ligers get characteristics from both lion and tiger . The liger has tiger like strips that are light and also looks like a big lion. Some say that a liger is larger than his parents and are arguably the largest big cats in the world.

Opinion

I didn't know that tigers and lions could mate because they both live in different continents. Also I read a book that said if a lion and a tiger saw each other, they wouldn't recognize each other and kill each other and the lion would win. Since there are more ligers than tigons the ligers may have a better chance at being born.
