Apart from Zeus the liger; the Zoological Wildlife foundation also has one of its genetic cousins which are known as the Ti-ligers. A Ti-liger is a liger that is fathered by a male tiger and mothered by a female liger. Just like the ligers, the Ti-ligers are even very rare while the Zoological Wildlife Foundation is amongst the very few zoos all over the world to have both the liger and the Ti-liger at its premises.
The Zoological Wildlife Foundation also has another form of a liger that is called the Ti-liger. The Ti-ligers have the male lions as their fathers and the female liger as their mothers.
The appearance of the Ti-liger at the Zoological Wildlife Foundation is exactly same as that of a tiger. However; a Ti-liger has spots on its facial markings rather than linear lines as in the case of the tigers.
