>>309470 That's a relevant question, actually. Since the liger has the build of a normal pantherine cat but it's a scaled up version of those proportions, it has proportionally less muscular strength than a normal lion or tiger. While they still have more strength in absolute terms, that doesn't help, since their added mass means they have to use proportionally more strength for every movement they make. That's why ligers tire out much faster than lions or tigers. And knowing that while a Bengal tiger is smaller than a lion, it defeat one in an one-on-one battle, strength clearly isn't the decisive factor. Therefore, a liger is probably going to be inferior to both parent species due to lack of stamina to make up for it's extra mass.
