<h5>Understanding ligers and tigons.</h5><p>Have you ever thought about what would happen if a lion and a tiger had a baby? That’s how we get ligers and tigons!</p><p>A liger is born when a daddy lion and a mommy tiger have a baby, and a tigon is born when a daddy tiger and a mommy lion have a baby.</p><p>These hybrid animals don’t live in the wild because lions and tigers live in different places. They are usually born in zoos or wildlife parks.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/newsahoot.appspot.com/Liger_2_bd30183120.jpg" alt="Liger 2.jpg"><figcaption>A liger in a zoo.

Ligers have tiger stripes and some spots from lions.</p><p>Tigons are smaller and have a mix of features from both their lion and tiger parents, like a lion’s mane and a tiger’s stripes.</p><p>The health of ligers and tigons can be different. Some may have health problems because they are a mix of two animals, while others are just fine.</p><p>Did you know? Some lady ligers can even have babies! In 2012, a mommy liger in a zoo in Russia had cubs with a daddy lion. These baby ligers were called liligers!</p><h5>Population and habitat of these hybrids!</h5><p>Ligers and tigons are really rare and mostly live in zoos. There are only about 100 ligers in the whole world, and even fewer tigons.</p><p>These animals are really cool, but we also need to think about whether it’s ethical to breed them just for people to see.</p>
