A liger is the offspring of a female tiger and a male lion. In contrast, the tigon is the offspring of a male tiger and a female lion. These two species do not breed in nature because their habitats are mostly different. Lions live in open grasslands while tigers live in forests. In captivity, it is possible to produce ligers and tigon. Male ligers  are sterile but female ligers are fertile and can be bred to either tigers or lions. Is the liger a separate species from lion and tiger? Explain your answer.

Ecological adaptations

An ecological adaptation is any morphological, physiological, or behavioral trait of an organism that allows it to survive and reproduce in a habitat or ecosystem. Adaptation is a biological mechanism by which an organism gradually gets more acclimated to its surroundings.
