Liliger
A liliger is a hybrid within a hybrid! This animal comes into existence when a male lion mates with a female ligeress – the female version of the liger which we learned about previously.
The first of this second-generation hybrid was born in the Munich Zoo of Germany in 1943. In more recent times, liliger cubs were born in the Moscow Zoo in Russia. The picture above is of one of those cubs. Although their ligeress mother was stripped, these cubs display spots on their bodies.
