Tigon

A tigon is the result of cross breeding a male Tiger

with a female lion. This does not occur in the wild because of the territorial differences of the two cats but breeding between the two cats does occur.

It’s not a natural creature, according to Science, but I believe it should be assigned a name.

During the 1800’s there were more tigons than ligers (the mix of a male lion and a female tiger)Â but that trend has turned around and tigons are not as plentiful today. There is currently breeding going on in China as you can see from the recent post about the four cubs born there in May of 2006.
