A liger is a cross between a male African lion and a female Asian tiger; only the females are fertile. Some have a tendency for the white background of their belly to extend up their sides. One is almost pure white, with black markings; looks like a BIG harlequin cougar. While this may sound strange, not nearly as strange as encountering her in your back yard.

Years ago, was a “zoo” breading them, off the road a piece. When they were shut down, it was discovered that their cages had failed; cats had been going for walkabouts for some time, some even returning; several paths worn. Eventually, they accounted for 47 lions, tigers and ligers; but never knew how many there were to begin with.

One survived in our public lands for years, I suspect, because no one wanted to talk about seeing her; she was not shy. Haven’t seen her for a few years now. Strange, the things one misses.

It's pretty much my favorite animal.

Interesting! Kinda implies that a "Tion" is possible?

Ken :D :D :D :D Good one Napoleon.

There do be tigrons. While I have not seen one at my place, in Idaho anything is possible. General rule of thumb: If it don’t belong here, we’ve probably got some. We’ve have feral hogs, lions, tigers, ligers, alligators, sharks and Canadian wolves. Not to mention my neighbor’s exotic crossbred Eurafrican sheep.

Bred for their skills in magic....
