      Yes, there is (though there is no real scientific name for them as yet). It happens when a male lion is crossed with a female tiger.

      Yep – it’s cross between a male lion and a female tiger. I have never seen one though!

      Hey smundy,

      yep there is! It’s a hybrid animal though and is therefore infertile!
