Jim Geer  age 12 of Princeton NJ for his question:

What is a tiglion?

The tiglon is the child of a lion and a tiger. His father is a tiger and his mother is a lion, When the father is a lion and the mother a tiger their halfbreed child is called a Tiger. In any cas e tigions and ligers are very rare animals, They are only bred in captivity, And the tiger very rarely breeds in a zoo,

These mixed‑up youngsters usually have stripes, though not so plainly marked as the tiger parent, Sometimes., when one grows up he has a mane in honor of his lion parent.
