I love cheesecake Webkinz :) Join Date: Jan 2010 Posts: 1,899 | Re: Liger I don't think this is a good idea. Another person has thought of this though. Zookeepers and zoologists were very surprised and upset when a liger was born around last year, when a lion and a tiger somehow mated. It just isn't natural for a tiger and a lion, two completely different species, to mate. Research has shown that ligers has health issues and are likely to die at a young age because of the mixture of the genes. They would not thrive well in the wild. It is considered an insult for a liger to be born, unfortunately. |
