The ti-liger is a hybrid cross between a male tiger (Panthera tigris) and a ligress (Panthera leo × Panthera tigris). The world's first ti-ligers were born on August 16, 2007 at The Garold Wayne Interactive Zoological Park in Wynnewood, Oklahoma.
Although male tiglons and ligers are sterile, female hybrids can produce cubs. As with ligers - which are born without an epic gene - ti-ligers also grow to a size which is fundamentally larger than that of their tiger and lion forebears. 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 ti-ligers, the sire - Kahun - was a white bengal tiger (Panthera tigris tigris) and the dam - Beauty - was a liger. Five cubs were born, four ti-ligers male and one ti-liger female - named Tanyaro, Yun Yi, Monique, and two others that were moved to other facilities.
On March 7, 2013, a second set of ti-ligers cubs were again born at The Garold Wayne Interactive Zoological Park in Wynnewood, Oklahoma. In this event, Three cubs were born .Noah - is one of the only ones ti-ligers males in the world. His father was a Siberian tiger (Panthera tigris altaica)and Lizzy his mother was a female ligress (Panthera leo Panthera tigris]] .
