Tigon (English name Tigon) is a hybrid of a male tiger and a female lion. It is congenitally weak and more precious than a liger.
The successful conception rate between lions and tigers is only 1%~2%! However, the survival rate of ligers is higher than that of tigons. The survival rate of ligers is 1/100,000, but that of tigons is 1/500,000. In addition, the resistance of their offspring is very poor, which leads to a lower survival rate.
The "tiger-lion" born in Changsha Window of the World is currently the only "baby" born from mating between a female lion and a male tiger in China. In order to try to continue this little "baby" who is in danger of survival due to the huge genetic difference between its parents, people from all walks of life have poured their love and care. On the 8th, Nanjing Hongshan Forest Zoo, which gave birth to China's first "tiger-lion", and Fuzhou National Forest Park, which kept the "tiger-lion" alive for more than 100 days, expressed their willingness to provide feeding assistance. The staff of the animal training team and the citizens of Changsha are very pleased. They hope that this "tiger-lion" can grow up healthily and create a miracle of life.
"Tiger-lion beast" is also known as the world's strange beast, and has important research value in biology and genetics. However, the appearance of "tiger-lion beast" does not mean the emergence of a new species. Because species must meet three conditions: a certain distribution area in nature; a certain population size; and the ability to mate naturally with offspring with reproductive capacity. Therefore, it is too early to define "tiger-lion beast" as a new species. .
