Growth Dysplasia





LIGERS & TIGONS

Lion - Tiger offspring, known as Ligers , demonstrate very minor growth dysplasia. This occurs because the growth-inhibiting genes which are usually passed by the female lions and male tigers are absent. Ligers are the result of male lions and female tigers mating, who do not have the growth-inhibiting genes. The result is that they grow very large, although not too large to support their own body weight.
