Biome!!!! Ligers DO NOT have a Biome. Since Lions and Tigers naturally live in two different places, they are mostly bred in captivity.
4
FACTS!!!! 1. Most Ligers are made from accidental introduction of Lions and Tigers in captivity. Sadly though, most Liger cubs get genetic defects and don’t live more than a week.

Ligers are only created when a male Lion breeds with a female Tiger
Ligers are only created when a male Lion breeds with a female Tiger. If the male is a Tiger and female is a lion it becomes a Tigon. ( Tigons aren’t quite as popular because they look most like normal tigers) Tigon Vs Liger

Ligers tend to be infertile, like many other hybrid breeds
Ligers tend to be infertile, like many other hybrid breeds. Female Ligers have been know to produce offspring, but a fertile male Liger has never been recorded. Female Ligers are usually breed with male tigers or lions, their offspring are usually called “Ti-Liger” if the male is a tiger or “Li-Liger” if the male is a lion! Ti-Liger Li-Liger cub! cub!
7
Even though the differences in Ligers, Tigons, Li- Ligers, and Ti-Ligers are very minimal, scientists count them all as different subspecies. This is because, hybridization is very specific. Even though they all came from Lions and Tigers, each subspecies have a different size and have slightly different facial features.
