What male parts are cut off in castration?
In castration, the testicles are removed, resulting in the loss of testosterone production. This process is usually done to render a male sterile or to reduce the production of male hormones for medical or behavioral reasons.
Were do lygers come from?
Ligers are hybrid animals, resulting from the mating of a male lion and a female tiger. They do not exist in the wild and are mostly found in captivity. The hybridization occurs due to their geographical overlap in regions where lions and tigers inhabit.
What is a female calf born sterile as twin to male calf?
It is called a freemartin.
Can two females mate and produce offspring?
Some, yes. For example, a mule is a cross between a male donkey and a female horse (a hinny results when a male horse and female donkey are crossed). In the example given (a cross between a male donkey and a female horse). The offspring (the mule) would have a high probability of being sterile from birth.
When twin male calf are born is one or both sterile?
Fertility or sterility is not determined by birth circumstances. That is, just because an animal is born a twin, doesn't mean it will be sterile, or fertile. Being a twin has nothing to do with it.Another opinion:When twin bull calves are born neither are sterile, they're both fertile. The issue comes when the twin bull is born with a twin heifer, where there's a chance that she may be a freemartin and have a 90% chance of being sterile.
What are ligers young?
Since male ligers are sterile, there usually aren't any. If there were, they'd be cubs, just like the young of the original animals.
What is liger offspring?
Liger males are generally sterile, so there hasn't been any liger offspring yet. If ever there are, they'd be cubs, just like tiger or lion cubs.
Can Ligers breed?
A "Liger" is cross-breed between a male lion and a female tiger. Ligers cannot make other ligers. As a general rule, the offspring of two different species are sterile and cannot reproduce (the only exceptions are between species that are very closely related, like lynx and bobcats). Ligers, the offspring of a male lion and a female tiger are closely enough related that a female liger is usually fertile, but a male liger is not. The same holds true for Tions or Tigons, which are the offspring of a male tiger and a female lion. Female tigons are usually fertile while male tigons are not fertile.
What are ligers like?
Ligers are part female tiger with a male lion to get I liger
What is the hybrid of a male lion and a tigress called?
a liger Actually, it's a tigon, or tiglon. Ligers are male lion/tigress hybirds.
Can ligers have babies?
No, since Ligers are a breed of tigers and lions they can't breed on because of their genes.Answer: The above is incorrect.Female tigons and ligers have often proved to be fertile and can mate with a lion, tiger or in theory with another species such as leopard or jaguar. Tigons and ligers have been mated together to produce ti-ligers (tig-ligers). Tigers and tigons have been mated to produce ti-tigons. Ti-ligers and ti-tigons are more tigerlike (75% tiger). Ti-tigons resemble golden tigers but with less contrast in their markings. During the late 1970s/early 1980s, the Shambala Preserve had both a tigon and a ti-tigon. Noelle, the tigon, was born in 1978. Believing that big cats are always infertile, staff allowed Noelle to share an enclosure with a male Siberian tiger called Anton. In 1983, Noelle produced a ti-tigon name Nathaniel. Being 75% tiger, Nathaniel had darker stripes than his mother and he "spoke" tiger rather than the mix of sounds used by his mother. Being only 25% lion, Nathaniel did not grow a mane. He died age 8 or 9 years old due to cancer. Noelle also developed cancer and died soon after. It is possible that the mix of genes contributed to the illness.

What is a ligers breeding?
Ligers are hybrids and the result of captive breeding. They are the offspring produced from cross breeding a male lion with a female tiger.
What is the only four legged animal that is neither male or female?
ligers
What is ligers domain?
A liger is a hybrid of a male lion and a female tiger.
Does a liger have a female liger?
Normally no, the rule of thumb is that all hybrid animals are sterile because of their mismatched chromosomes but as in all things there are exceptions to the rule and there have even been several documented cases in which hybrid animals have unexpectedly given birth. There have been about 6 cases of female ligers that have produce offspring but even so their fertility was low with the mothers producing only one cub at a time. To my understanding in all of the cases the mothers only gave birth once, now whether it was because of low fertility or they where just prevented from breding again I don't know but all of the births where just the single cub. There has never been a liger cub born to two liger parents as there has never been any fertile male ligers, all of the cubs born to liger mothers where sired either by a male lion or tiger creating li-ligers or ti-ligers (depending on the father). Theoretically a receptive liger could be bred to any other big cat such as a leopard or cougar making a three way hybrid but no such crosses have ever been recorded.
How do ligers behave?
Ligers are a hybrid made from a male lion and a female tiger. This generally only happens in captivity, although very rarely it does occur in the wild. Male ligers become sexually mature and will mate, but are sterile. Female ligers can reproduce. They are the largest member of the cat family. Hercules the liger is over 900 pounds and not obese. That is twice the size of a male lion. Ligers have the coloration of a lion and the patterns of a tiger. Ligers have the coloration of a lion, but the striped pattern of a tiger. They are very large.someone else>>>>>>Actually, i have seen a Liger in real life, they had the poor thing in a glass display thing like at the zoo, It looks like a White tiger, and it has orange stripes, and yes the are large, the female ligers can get as big as a male Bengal tiger, and the males are a little bigger than that. Also, some may gain the characteristics of a lion, they can have a mane, and a fluff at the end of their tail, like a lion.It is a very large cross breed of a lion and a tiger. It has a body of a tiger but much larger and mostly a face of a lion, it has a short mane. ( beard )
