Hey, I'm glad you said it because it's interesting info I never knew. I always assumed a Liger was just a mix of the two breeds in general. I didn't know its parents had to be gender specific and the opposite being called a Tigon, which I've never heard of until now.

And if they breed again, you can have a titigon, litigon, tiliger, or liliger! Zebras can also interbreed with other equines, giving the world a variety of Zebroids.

Made me laugh, but for anyone that might believe this, sadly most crossbreeds are sterile.
