It’s uncommon to see Tigers & Lions mate in the wild. Tigers are usually in Asia while Lions tend to be in Africa. However, they can often be put together in captivity quite often. Captured wild Adults aren’t put together, but cubs from each species often are. Male Tigers are usually very large while Lionesses are slightly smaller in size.

This makes mating possible without artificial insemination. Tigons are the offspring of the male Tiger/Lioness combo. They have great hunting skills as well as laziness from the Lions. Male Tigons will also develop a small mane. Most tend to have some stripes like the Tiger as well. They also do not exceed the size of their parents.
