In the world of animals, we find our class of them, we even find the so-called hybrids. Within this group is that we found the mammal Tigón.
He is the son of a male tiger and a lioness. These animals inherit growth inhibitory genes from both parents, so their size is limited. This does not mean that they suffer any kind of 'dwarfism', they can weigh up to 180 kilos, a figure quite common for a common tiger.
The tigones have a stylized figure, with the extremities more developed than the rest of their body. Nothing to do, therefore, with the imposing physiognomy of the ligres. In his article the characteristics of the tigers are observed as lions, but without ever exhibiting spectacular manes.
Although male tigons are sterile, cases of tigona with offspring have been documented. If the father is a tiger, you get a title. As Latvians do not have growth inhibitors through their paternal path, they can reach an imposing size.
The tigones are much less common than the ligres. A priori there is no conclusive evidence that male lions are less prone to mate with lionesses than vice versa. The most plausible explanation is that it interests the production of leagues for its exhibition in circuits and zoos, but not in the case of the less "spectacular" ones
