Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 1 : liger

The correct answer is liger.

  • The liger is a hybrid offspring of a male lion (Panthera leo) and a female tiger (Panthera tigris).
  • The liger is a zoo-bred hybrid, as is the tigon, which is the result of mating a male tiger with a female lion.
  • Ligers tend to be larger and heavier than members of their parent species.
  • The largest ligers often grow to lengths of more than 3.3 metres (10.8 feet) and weigh more than 400 kg (900 pounds).
