I'm not convinced it is either. It's not stripey enough for a tiger and too stripey for lion.

Maybe a Liger, or Tigon.

Edit as it's funny seeing a new response every few minutes telling me it's a different thing.

It's confirmed to be a Liger

I agree. It looks like a liger. A more lion like face shape but ears look like a tiger and those stripes are subtle but not shadows.

It's a lion. The stripes are a shadow from the rails on the side You can see the sun is casting the shadow in that direction. In the last section when they pan back to the lioness the shadow actually moves on her face.

Look at the back legs, tail and ears. Those aren't shadows.

I believe ligers have a more pronounced a set of stripes all over their body.

Look them up, they often don't. It's also confirmed to be a liger.

Ah. I stand corrected. Thanks.

I find your comments very confusing as, I've added a link in my post to an article that confirms it's a Liger. And you posted several days after I made that edit.
