But do they have special powers?

'Tiglons' Are Cross Between Lion, Tiger
SHENZHEN, China -- A Chinese nature park has revealed two "tiglon" cubs -- animals that are a cross between a tiger father and a lion mother.

The animals were born in May.

The cubs' faces are more like a lion, but their bodies have stripes and look more like a tiger.

Although the cubs are in excellent health, a genetic problem because of the crossbreeding will limit their lifespan to only about 110 days.

The normal life expectancy for lions and tigers is about 20 years.
I'm guessing that the Liger only occurs when it's a Lion father and a Tiger mother?
