What is Liger

                                               What is Liger

Hello Guys. today i will tell you about liger . Amazing animalThe liger is a hybrid cross between a male lion (Panthera leo) and a femaletiger (Panthera tigris). The liger has parents in the same genus but of differentspecies. The liger is distinct from the similar hybrid tigon. The liger is the largest of all known extant felines.

Ligers enjoy swimming, which is a characteristic of tigers, and are very sociable like lions. Ligers exist only in captivity because the habitats of the parental species do not overlap in the wild. Historically, when the Asiatic lion was prolific, the territories of lions and tigers did overlap and there are legends of ligers existing in the wild. Notably, ligers typically grow larger than either parent species, unlike tigons which tend to be about as large as a female tiger.It appear first time in 1798 in India
