The liger is a hybrid cross between a male Panthera leo (lion), and a female Panthera tigris (Tiger) and is denoted scientifically as Panthera tigris × Panthera leo.[1][2] A liger resembles a giant lion with diffused stripes. They are the largest cats in the world, although the Siberian Tiger is the largest pure breed. Like tigers, but unlike lions, ligers enjoy swimming. A similar hybrid, the offspring of a male tiger and a female lion is called a tigon.
According to The Tiger, Symbol of Freedom rare reports have been made of tigresses mating with lions in the wild.[3] Under exceptional circumstances it has been known for a tiger to be forced into ranges inhabited by the Asiatic Lion, Panthera leo persica, which is a different species as the tiger, Panthera tigris. This may have occurred in the Gir Forest in India where the ranges of Asiatic Lions and Bengal Tigers overlap. This combination of species in the wild however is considered improbable.[4]

Ligers are a crossbreed of tigers and lions, as you so stated. They are not natural creatures (considering, lions and tigers would never live in the same place), therefore has no natural habitat. They are only created by human hands and their natural habitats are whatever the human needs to do to accomodate for the *GIGANTIC* beast (They really do get massive, too.)
Google them -- They're FACINATING! :D

It is the offspring of a lion and tiger. They grow to be enormous in size. Google it.
