Tigers and Lions can technically successfully mate, and produce hybrids known as 'Ligers' and 'Tigons'. The offspring typically have significant physical abnormalities and don't live anywhere near a full lifespan, and depending on the mating, the dam's life is put in extreme danger if she gives birth to the offspring unassisted. The ligers or tigons do however often live long enough to reach reproductive age. This combination arguably does not happen in the wild, because lions and tigers inhabit primarily different continents and territories. Humans have forced this hybrid in captivity to create animal attractions and make money, though fortunately the unethical practice is now being diminished dramatically thanks to public awareness. Taking in that LONG story, which barrier most likely keeps lions and tigers from mating all the time in the wild, creating new naturally occurring species?
