    A TIGON is a cross between a TIGER (male) and a LION (female).

    A LIGER is a cross between a LION (male)and a TIGER (female).

    They are carnivores like the rest of the cat family.

    They live in various parts of Africa.

    Tigers and lions both belong to cat family or feline family.

    In nature they do not exist together. As tigers require

    good forest or tree cover and lions live in open Meadows.

    In nature they do not met and produce any offspring.

    But when they are kept together in zoos,and circuses or

    kept as private pets; experiments are conducted to met them.

    Some times such experiments are successful and a Cross breed

    is produced . It is called Liger or Tigon.

    They are NOT REPEAT NOT found free in nature and always

    exist in captivity under protection of man. They are

    carnivorous or meat eating animals like any other member of

    cat family.

    Please do not carry exaggerated ideas in your mind about them.

    I saw a Liger at the zoo in Korea when I was stationed. I don't think the mixture of species, no matter how closely related they are is a good thing. So to answer you question, Ligers exist but I don't know what the others are.

    If you want to see the only existing Liger in the world is found in Hogle Zoo in Utah. Its long dead but they have it on display. It is quite amazing seeing.
