Aaaahhh humping pictures are always my favorite.

I read something kinda interesting about Tigons and Ligers:

"In tigers, the fathers contribute the genes that limit growth. In lions,
the mothers contribute the genes that limit growth. When you take
a female tiger, and a male lion, the offspring (liger) have no genes
to regulate how big they get. They just keep growing their whole lives.

On the other hand, a tiger father and a lion mother will make a tigon.
Tigons are much smaller than their lion and tiger parents because they
have two sets of growth limiting genes"
