Just in case anyone's interested, here's the counterpart to the Liger, the Tigon:
Tigons don't get as big as Ligers because they don't lack a pituitary "shut off growth" gene like Ligers. (Tigons are male tiger, female lion children, btw. Ligers are the reverse.)

And, just for the heck of it, the Leopon (a leopard-lioness cross)

So who would win a tiger v lion fight?* I've always heard that tigers would prevail.

"pituitary "shut off growth" gene like Ligers. (Tigons are male tiger, female lion children, btw. Ligers are the reverse.)" Ligers are supposed to have a particularly laid-back, mellow disposition. I wonder if that's the case with the tigon.
