Well, you're wrong because the proper term is Tigon. There are also Ligers. The convention is for the male of the pair to be named first. So a Tigon is the offspring of a male tiger and a female lion, and vice versa for a Liger. I don't know why you think people don't know about these animals, maybe you should not be so pompous?
Shenzhen Safari Park in south China happens to have a lot of tigons for some reason. Hope that helps.

What haven't been said above, is, because ligers and tigons (much rarer than ligers) are genetic products of two species they can't have offspring.(like mules and easels). That's why they're rare - you can't breed with them but have to wait for members of two distict species to find each other sexually attractive all over again and hope for the desired result...They don't occur in the wild, because lions and tigers do not occur on the same continents. (with the exception of a small population of lions on the Gir peninsula in India)

I have seen a liger first hand. A liger is the result of a male lion and a female tiger. They are much larger than either breed
Tigons are the result of a female lion and a male tiger. They are much smaller than either breed.

its called either a tigon or a liger. ligers are huge (up to 900 lbs) and tigons have the same characteristics as liigers, but are smaler.
ligers are when the father is a tiger and the mother is a lion
and tigons are the other way around

I think you mean a Liger
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liger
There aren't any in the United States that I know of, but there is one in the Siberian Zoo in Russia. Good Luck Napoleon.
Oh, Ligers are bred for their skills in magic.
