The result when a male Lion and a female Tiger breed. Male ligers are usually infertile, but females have been proven to give birth to li-ligers (3/4 Lion <Lion father> 1/4 Tiger <Liger mother>).

Ligers became stupidly-popular since Napoleon Dinomite was released. Since then, anyone who saw another person drawing any type of feline was tormented by others, their work being mocked by them asking over and over, "Is that a liger? Is that a liger?"

Ligers were not only bred for use in magic. In big-cat farms, where lions and tigers and other types of big cats (such as leopards, jaguars, moutain lions, ect.,) are held, and if lions and tigers are kept in the same cage, something will happen eventually.

Ligers are normally much larger than both lions and tigers and are reported as the largest big-cats ever. From nose to tail, the liger may be up to 12 feet long. Male ligers will normally grow a blond-brown mane. Both male and female ligers will have some sort of stripe pattern down their back and possilby limbs. There have been no reported fertile males, thus, ligers haven't been able to reproduce with their own species.
You need an example after that explanation. LIKE HELL!

A liger is the result of breeding a male lion with a female tiger. It has stripes and spots. The spots are inherited from the lion parent even though adult lions do not appear to be spotted. The liger is a hybrid cat that inherits most of the strengths of both parent species and is larger than either, weighing between 800-1200 pounds.

Most ligers seem to be born sterile (this is not unusual for hybrids) - there are recorded instances of ligers breeding, though few and far between.

Ligers, and their cousins Tigons (sometimes also referred to as "Tions" or "Tiglons") do not currently have a scientific name, but might be called "Panthera leo/tigris", or something similar.
You should go see the liger that's on display at the zoo - it's huge!

A liger is the result of breeding a male lion with a female tiger. It looks like a giant lion, with diffused tiger stripes. Like tigers (and unlike lions), ligers like swimming.

They are mythical creatures that are very rare. Ligers can travel at speeds of up to 90 mph, are very adept at camoflauging themselves, and only eat ice cream sandwiches. Probably the the most bibble creature of all time.
1. "What are you drawing? A liger.
It's pretty much my favorite animal. It's like a lion and a tiger mixed... bred for its skills in magic."

2. "I'm here to see a man about a liger."

3. "Ligers are magical creatures. They have crazy skills, but only eat ice cream sandwiches, which are, by the way, delicious."

1. (noun) A 'mythical creature' from the popular film for white trash kids, Napoleon Dynamite. They have big butts. Wtf.

2. (noun) The result of breeding a male lion with a female tiger. (75% lion; 25% tiger) They have both stripes and spots. They inherit strengths from both parents and is probably the largest in the cat family. They should weigh about 800-1200 pounds, according to my research.
Also see it's opposite, the tigon.
"Deb: What are you drawing?
Napoleon: A liger.
Deb: What's a liger?
Napoleon: It's pretty much my favorite animal. It's like a lion and a tiger mixed... bred for its skills in magic."

"Did you see that liger? HOLY CRAP; IT WAS LIKE HUGE!"
