A Liliger is a hybrid cross between a male lion and a female liger. Thus, it is a second generation hybrid. In accordance with Haldane's rule, male tigons and ligers are sterile, but female ligers and tigons can produce cubs. The first such hybrid was born in 1943, at the Hellabrunn Zoo.
Liligers possess characteristics they share from their parents, with the males being generally slightly larger than the females, and also sport a mane from their lion father, with stripes from their hybrid mother. While ligers often inherit the sandy coloring and stripes of its parentage, liligers often develop spots and rosettes similar to a leopard.
