Tigon is a word that refers to a hybrid animal that results from a male tiger and a female lion. This hybrid animal is also known by several synonyms such as tiglon, liger, and litigon. Tigon is a term that is not widely used and is often misunderstood along with its synonym, liger, which is the offspring of a male lion and a female tiger. A litigon, on the other hand, results from the breeding of a male lion and a female tigon. These hybrid animals are a combination of two of the most powerful and majestic big cats and are often very large and distinct from their parents.
