Ligers and Tigons are sterile from birth, so there would be no offspring. However, if one were to unlock the secrets behind genetic recombination, you could sample DNA from both animals and possbly splice a new, third hybrid ... perhaps a Tigron. Sadly, natural pathways for an enhanced hybrid from these two creatures is impossible.

Fist off there is no such thing as a "tigon". Whenever a lion and tiger mate the offspring will be a liger (which is a real animal, though nothing like the idiotic thing in napolean dynamite- the worst and dumbest movie I have ever seen). Whichever animal is the mother wouldn't make a difference, because half the genes are from the mother and half are from the father. The offspring may look more like a tiger, but genetically it is a liger. Secondly Whenever two species cross-breed the offspring will almost always be infertile, so if a liger mated with any thing nothing would happen (other than uncomfortable conversation afterward, and the phone calls...).

It wouldn't happen. Whether they mated or not, there would be no offspring (babies); because both ligers, and tigons, (though they're basically the same thing) are hybrids, meaning that an extremely high percentile of them would be sterile, and not capable of having babies.

ligers and tigons are named for who the daddy became....male tiger with woman lion= Tigon, male lion with woman tiger= Liger. they do no longer look to be named in step with what features they have. Zoos do no longer breed them on objective. i be attentive to in the previous, this occurred in zoos showing 2 diverse massive cats at the same time. i do no longer think of any have been produced in zoos presently, as zoos separate diverse species of cats in recent times. And the offspring are sterile so as that they can't reproduce better.

nothing because most of them have problems mating because of birth defects. Also its like mules they cant breed because there genes are not compatible with other animals because there DNA is so different from them. its probably not even possible for them to mate with an animal from the same species.

A ligon would be the only possible word combo, considering that the other way would just bring you back to being a tiger.

They would have sex, but no offspring would be produced. Both are usually sterile. Meaning no babies.

You would get either a tiger or a lion!
