The liliger is the hybrid offspring of a male lion (Panthera leo) and a female liger (Panthera leo♂ × Panthera tigris♀). Thus, it is a second generation hybrid. In accordance with Haldane's rule, male tigons and ligers are sterile, but female ligers and tigons can produce cubs.
The liger is distinct from the opposite hybrid called the tigon (of a male tiger and a lioness), and is the largest of all known extant felines.

Ligers usually seem to be quite large, reaching at least the size of siberian Tigers. Some of them are also very heavy. However the weight can not stand for size. Among tigers in India there are sometimes relatively small cattle killers, which weigh more than large game killing tigers. But that is because they are relatively fat, not large!
