A '''tiliger''' or '''taliger''' is a second generation [hybrid](/source/Hybrid_(biology)) from a male [tiger](/source/tiger) (''Panthera tigris'') and a [ligress](/source/Liger) (which is the hybrid offspring of a lion and a tigress). The world's first tiligers were born on 16 August 2007 at [Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park](/source/Greater_Wynnewood_Exotic_Animal_Park) in [Wynnewood](/source/Wynnewood%2C_Oklahoma), Oklahoma.{{Citation needed|date=March 2013}}

Although male [liger](/source/liger)s and [tigon](/source/tigon)s are sterile, female ligers and tigons can produce cubs. As with ligers, tiligers grow to a size that is typically larger than either of their lion and tiger forebears. Large males can grow 300 kg up to 400&nbsp;kg and total length 3,8 meters in length, while the females may grow weight 200 kg up to 250&nbsp;kg and up to 3,2 meters in length.<ref>[Liger#Size and growth](/source/Liger)</ref>

==History==

In the first litter of tiligers, the sire - Kahun - was a [white Bengal tiger](/source/White_tiger) (''Panthera tigris tigris'') and the dam - Beauty - was a [liger](/source/liger). Five cubs were born to that litter - four male and one female - named Tanyaro, Yun Yi, Monique, and two others that were moved to other facilities.{{Citation needed|date=March 2013}}

On 7 March 2013, a second set of tiliger cubs were again born at Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park. In this event, the sire - Noah - was a [Siberian tiger](/source/Siberian_tiger) (''Panthera tigris altaica'') and the dam - Lizzy - was a [liger](/source/liger). Three cubs were born to that litter.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.buzzfeed.com/barcrofttv/taligers-half-tiger-half-liger-cubs-born-in-usa-af4a |title=Taligers: Half Tiger Half Liger Cubs Born In USA |website=Buzzfeed.com |date=2013-04-29 |accessdate=2016-04-06}}</ref>

Valley of the Kings in [Sharon](/source/Sharon%2C_Wisconsin), Wisconsin is home to a female tiliger named Ti-ler.

In 2008 a tiliger named Radar was born in Florida and was transferred to Tigerworld Animal Sanctuary in [Rockwell](/source/Rockwell%2C_North_Carolina), North Carolina at 15 weeks old. Radar's parents are a male tiger and a female liger.<ref>{{Cite web |last=LIGER |title=Liger Radar - A Ti-liger from a Female Liger and Male Tiger |url=https://www.ligerworld.com/radar-the-liger.html |access-date=2025-12-06 |website=www.ligerworld.com |language=en}}</ref>
