Ligers and Tigons

            

     

           Hello world, this blog will be about two interesting animals, ligers and tigers. Ligers and tigons are both hybrid animals. They both have similarities and contrasts. Aliger comes out from the mating of a male lion and a female tiger. They are more known than tigons because the mating process is easier. They usually are organish/golden color. Ligers havespotted bellies and striped backs. This animal gain his strength from both its parents. On their hind legs, they stand approximately 12 feet tall. They weigh 1000-1600 pounds. They are capable of eating more than 100 pounds of meat. Ligers makes both sounds of tiger and lion,

more into lion roar. This animal can achieve a maximum speed of 50-60 miles per hour.Now one the other hand we have tigons. These hybrid animals come from the mating of male tiger and female lion. Not many people know about tigons because not many of them exist in modern world and it is really hard to mate a male tiger with a female lion.  These animals do not reach the same impressive size as the liger. The normaly weigh about 352-392 lbs. They look more like tigers. Tigons have varying stripes and spots. They are organish in color. Tigons are not nearly as large as tigons, infact they are often times smaller than both its parents. It isvery sad to know that both of these animals do not live long because they are prone to cancers and other illnesses.
