Yes, there are ligers. The Liger is a hybrid cross between a male lion and a female tiger (i.e, Panthera leo × Panthera tigris). A liger resembles a lion with diffused stripes. They are the largest cats in the world, although the Siberian Tiger is the largest "pure" taxon. Ligers and tigers enjoy swimming, whereas lions do not. A similar hybrid, the offspring of a male tiger and a female lion is called a tigon. See links for more information.

There may be. I do know that ligers exist. So do white tigers. Probably do not exist in the wild.
Is it right to keep Ligers in captivity?
Yes. Ligers only exist in captivity.
How do ligers obtain resources?
Ligers don't exist in nature, only in parks and zoos. They get what they need from their keepers.
Do ligers eat buffaloes?
Ligers do not exist in the wild. They would eat buffalo meat, though if it was fed to them by their human caretakers.
Do ligers exist?
Yes, they do. Ligers are crosses between male lions and female tigers. They don't exist in the wild however because lion and tiger habitats don't lap over. Basically they only exist in captivity.
Are tigons and ligers extinced?
Yes, Ligers do exist however tigon is not a term used often because it is also a word for a dragon and tiger hybrid (which obviously doesn't exist) hope this helps!
How many ligers are there?
It is unknown how many ligers exist today. These animals only occur in captivity and estimates range from between 10 and 100.
What is being done to save ligers?
Nothing. Ligers are not a naturally-occurring species of animal; they exist only because humans have bred them into existence. There is no need to save them.
What can kill a liger?
Since ligers do not occur in nature they are threatened by nothing. Ligers are the offspring of a lion and a tiger, and these animals only exist where they have been bred in captivity.
What continent do ligers live?
NOWHERE! There have only been two Ligers ever breeded and they were breeded in a zoo in New York, one of them died and the other one is very sick.
Are ligers endangered species?
It's hard to say, but not really really. Since ligers are hybrid animals, cross between a lion and a tigress, and do not oocur in the wild as a viable species, they cannot be considered under any listing. And as long as there are tigers and lions, there can always be new ligers.
