I can show you how offspring get features from both parents.                                                            

 

 

  The Liger

The liger is a hybrid cross between a male lion and a female tiger. The liger has parents in the same genus (animal group) , but from different species.  The liger is distinct from the similar hybrid tigon and is the largest of all known extant felines.  Ligers enjoy swimming, which is a characteristic of tigers,  are very sociable like lions.

 

Ligers have the ability to consume more than 100 pounds in one meal. They get this ability from their farthers, who can eat up to 90 pounds. An adult Liger can grow up to 10-11 feet they get this aspect from both of their parents, who can grow up to 4 feet long. They get their weight from farthers, who weigh 190kg. Their fur is a combination of both parents. Their diluted stripes are because of the one shaded fur from the lion and the opaque stripes from the tiger.
