RossThe tigon itself is not a species but rather a hybrid between a male tiger and a female lion. However, both tigers and lions are considered vulnerable species by the IUCN due to habitat loss, poaching, and other threats. Conservation efforts are being made to protect these big cat species and their hybrids.

Which other big cat is bred with a tiger to make the tigon?
A tigon is bred by mating a male tiger with a female lion. The opposite cross, mating a male lion with a female tiger, results in a liger.
Can a lion and a dog mate?
Yes, and they will produce a liger or tigon (ligar if the father was a lion and tigress was the mother, and a tigon if the father was a tiger and mother was a lioness.)
What is the offspring of a lion and tiger called?
The offspring of a lion and tiger is called a liger if the father is a lion and a tigon if the father is a tiger. Both ligers and tigons are hybrids resulting from the crossbreeding of a lion and a tiger.
What type of endangered is the Indian pyhon?
They are endangered of extinction, as are all endangered species.
What is the hybrid offspring of a lioness and a tiger?
The hybrid offspring of a lioness and a tiger is called a liger. Ligers are the result of a male lion and a female tiger mating. They are typically larger than both lions and tigers, inheriting traits from both parent species.
