In what local zoologists are calling a miracle, a Bengalese tiger has given birth to a healthy tiger-lion cub at a Novosibirsk zoo.
The tigon is the result from the mating between a male tiger and a lioness. The tigon is obviously smaller in size than either the lion or the tiger.
The liger is the result from the mating between a male lion and a female tiger. The liger is incredibely larger in size than both the lion and the tiger reaching about 11 feet (3.4 mt) in length, which makes it the largest living cat on earth. Ligers are the living proof that hybrid cats can surely be fertile.
Tigers' fur is naturally blended for their surroundings

The panther has way better camo then a tiger.

Yeah , I mean tigers always hide in their vibrant orange and black surroundings. The lions natural camoflauge actually makes sense because of the plains. But the tiger? I thought was a jungle cat? The panther has way better camo then a tiger.
Supposedly, and I think Darwin mentioned this in Origin, horses are sometimes born naturally that have zebra like marks on their back legs, or maybe it was the result of different cross breeds of different kinds of horses, (but not ones bred with zebras) that resulted in what he thought was 'primitive' traits comming out.
Actually, if you've ever been to the african and indian jungles, they're not the stereotypical thick-green everyone's used to in movies. they are mosly dark green and dark/light brown, few mosses and shroubs, mostly trees with more bark and branches then leaves. So actually, a tiger's orange/black fur would camouflage it with the surroundings of a brown background

perhaps when you mate the 2 together you also get ancestral genes that for some reason activate
, back to the much larger lions and sabretoothed cats of the ice age

I think that modern tigers are bigger than most sabertooths.
