athenadark: sarahtheheartslayer: unusuallytypical: A Russian zoo is home to a unique animal - the liger. It is half-lioness, half-tiger. Mother Zita is pictured licking her one month old liliger cub I DON’T GIVE A SHIT WHAT YOU CALL IT LOOK AT HER HAPPY LITTLE FACE IN THE LAST PICTURES SHE’S SO PROUD OF HER LIL CUB AND HER SPOTS AND SHE’S GOTTA BE TOUGH MOMMA WHEN THE BABY’S LOOKING BUT AS SOON AS THEY TURN AROUND, SHE’S LIKE, “:3 Look at it. I made a thing. I made a rly good thing. :3” it’s actually more amazing than that hybrids are sterile, they can’t have babies - but she did just for the record if this is from a lioness and tiger pairing it would be a tigon and not a liger. @athenadark Not all hybrids are sterile, just that most hybrid’s can’t bred true meaning that two of the tigons couldn’t bred more tigons. … but I don’t know the exact list of which hybrid’s are able to breed true so maybe these are able too. -- source link
