[quote]Yes, Napoleon Dynamite was citing a real, live animal. In fact, the male lion-female tiger crossbreed is the largest cat in the world. Interestingly, when a male tiger and female lion are bred to create a tigon, the offspring is prone toward dwarfism. Weird, eh?
Weirder still, male ligers and tigons are sterile, while females are often fertile. That means it is possible to crossbreed the crossbreeds. A ti-liger, ti-tigon, li-liger or li-tigon is a cross between a male tiger or lion and female liger or tigon. The result is three quarters either tiger or lion, so the animal may not be as strange-looking as you imagine. It tends to display the characteristics of the species with the dominant genes.[/quote]

Ligers have been breed before. This is not a first.
