tigers and lions can breed together, so same species?

• LukeShu 11y ago
  The fuller generally accepted definition (which Amezarak noted) is to tack on "with fertile offspring." Tigers and lions can breed, but the resulting liger can't reproduce, so lions and tigers aren't the same species.

    Does this not count as "fertile offspring"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liger#Fertility https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liger#Fertility

      Well, I'll be damned. I guess it goes to show that you shouldn't trust something just because a teacher says it.
