8th Dec - An unusual animal, the cub of a tigress and a lion, was born at Novosibirsk Zoo, zoo director Rostislav Shilo told RIA Novosti on Monday.
According to Mr. Shilo, it is unusual for a cub to be born to a Bengal tigress and an African lion.
"The birth of this cub, a liger, is not the result of a scientific experiment, but chance," Mr. Shilo said. "The lion and the tigress have simply been living in Novosibirsk Zoo in the neighboring cages for a long time and have got used to each other. Essentially, this does not occur in nature."
According to him, the liger cub looks like a striped lion but no one can say what will happen to it in the future.
