G'day Toothybumers jud,
Thank you for your question.
It is called a tigon or tiglons. It comes from a male tiger and female lioness. They are not as common as they once were although they have been bred in captivity. Male tigons are sterile while females are fertile.
I have attached sources for your reference.
Regards

The offspring of a male tiger and a lioness is a tigon (alternative names are tion, tigron or tiglon). Tigons have no scientific name, but Panthera tigris X leo has been posited. Tigons are currently rarer than ligers. It is suggested that male tigers find the courtship behaviour of a lioness too subtle and may miss behavioural cues that she is willing to mate (though lionesses actively solicit mating). It is more likely that their smaller size makes them less attractive exhibits than ligers. This is borne out by the fact that in the 19th century and early 20th century, tigons were more common than ligers.

You guys are purely stating the obvious..Liger...Tiger...
No truth is that this match is dependant on the male sex.
The animal is known as a Tiligeoner... Simple as that..And they are usually black with no stripes or mains

It's still a ligar isn't it, because they are both having a baby together, so, i don't see what the difference is. But I guess it would depend on what each of the parents were.
