Both the ligers are 17 years old. This age is very high for the ligers especially, when there are rumors that ligers do not live long. The ligers are said to be doing great at the zoo. The ligers have faded stripes of the tigers with a body that resembles that of the lions. The male liger has a small mane over its body, while the female liger resembles very much like a lioness. Both the ligers are very big cats and they weigh more than lions and tigers.
