Tigon - National Zoo and Aquarium

Cross between a Tiger and a Lion - at the National Zoo and Aquarium in Canberra
Beautiful cat.
 
I think whichever animals name is put first is the father.


Liger=lion male+tiger female
Tigon=Tiger male+lion female
 
I realy don't understand why a good zoo is keeping such an animal.....it's sad and i think its very unprofessional.
 
ligers and tigons

I believe that the Tigon at the National Zoo in Canberra was rescued from a circus - the zoo gave it a home to live out the rest of its life.

This was discussed here: http://www.zoochat.com/24/tigon-national-zoo-9/

i honstly don't think zoo's should breed and exhibit those kind of animals, but if they recued it from somewhere its a good thing, still i think those animals should be kept off the scences.
they are amazing animals and very intresting but i dont think zoos should educate people to belive thats its ok to breed different kinds of animals togther.
 
It is dead. Died last year some time.
