| The '''taliger''' is a ] cross between a male ] (''Panthera tigris'') and a ] ('']'' × '']''). The world's first taligers were born on August 16, 2007 at ] in ]. | |||
| Although male ] and ] are sterile, female hybrids can produce cubs. As with ligers - which are born without an epic gene - taligers also grow to a size which is fundamentally larger than that of their tiger and lion forebears.<ref>{{cite Liger#Size_and_growth}}</ref> In a scientific document to be published by researchers at Texas A&M university, conclusive evidence suggests that ligers, taligers and tiglons are genetically and physically stronger than their forebears as well. | |||
| ==History== | |||
| In the first litter of taligers, the sire - Kahun - was a name-tiger (species) and the dam - Beauty - was a liger. Five cubs were born to that litter - four male and one female - named Tanyaro, Yun Yi, Monique, and two others that were moved to other facilities. | |||
| On March 07, 2013, a second set of taliger cubs were again born at ] in ]. In this event, the sire - Noha - was a ] (Panthera tigris altaica) and the dam - Lizzy - was a ]. Three cubs were born to that litter. | |||

Redirect to:
- From a subtopic: This is a redirect from a subtopic of the target article or section.
- If the redirected subtopic could potentially have its own article in the future, then also tag the redirect with {{R with possibilities}} and {{R printworthy}}.
- With history: This is a redirect from a page containing substantive page history. This page is kept as a redirect to preserve its former content and attributions. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated), nor delete this page.
- This template should not be used for redirects having some edit history but no meaningful content in their previous versions, nor for redirects created as a result of a page merge (use {{R from merge}} instead), nor for redirects from a title that forms a historic part of Misplaced Pages (use {{R with old history}} instead).
