Dear Mr. Dashrath Maheshwari !
The liger is a hybrid cross between a male lion and a female tiger.
It is denoted scientifically as Panthera tigris × Panthera leo.
A liger resembles a lion with diffused stripes. They are the largest cats in the world, although the Siberian Tiger is the largest pure sub-species.
