Because only female ligers and tigons are fertile, a liger cannot reproduce with another liger or with a tigon.The fertility of hybrid big cat females is well-documented across a number of different hybrids. This is in accordance with Haldane's rule: in hybrids of animals whose gender is determined by sex chromosomes, if one gender is absent, rare or sterile, it is the heterogametic sex (the one with two different sex chromosomes e.g. X and Y). Thanks for watching!

Do you know why a male liger is sterile, but a female liger is very much fertile?...resulting in Li-ligers and Ti-tigers.

H.R. Prater wrote in "The Book of Indian Animals"(1948) "It is a Myth that White Tigers did not thrive in the Wild at one point in time and they are not that uncommon in some of the dry open Jungles of India"...that suggest Mohan was not the first...

That "one cub" found in india was taken to the Maharaja, not the U.S....and there have been reports of White tigers in the wild as early as 1820...

I actually read that this does occur in the wild(though very rarely), and Mohan was only the first captured, not the first. Though it is possible to find two unrelated tigers with the same kind of genetic mutation...
