Ligers are hybrids and the result of captive breeding. They are the offspring produced from cross breeding a male lion with a female tiger.
They did not. Ligers are not a species in their own right or a natural occurrence. They are the result of the captive cross-breeding of a lion and a tiger.
It is estimated that there are no white tigers in the wild. The white tiger is a result of a genetic mutation found in captive breeding programs.
Captive breeding is when a zoo or wildlife preserve will breed endangered animals or non endangered to help them survive.
no they do not

As of mid-2013, there is still no sign of a bilby captive breeding program in place at Currumbin.
not really, you could do captive breeding.

There are estimated to be around 200 white tigers in captivity around the world, primarily in zoos and conservation centers. They are a rare color variation of the Bengal tiger and are often used for breeding programs to increase genetic diversity among captive tiger populations.
Captive breeding programs can affect genetic diversity in one of two ways. Within the program itself, genetic diversity is reduced, because captive breeding programs only have a limited number of animals to work with. On the other hand, animals from a captive breeding program that are re-introduced to the wild can increase genetic diversity, because they are bringing genes that may have been gone for a long time back into the gene pool.
