The liger is actually a rare mix between a lion father and a tiger mother, a gargantuan animal that's twice the size of either of it's parents.
Ligers do not posses any known "skills in magic," but they are rumored to exhibit the strength of their lion fathers, and the speed of their tiger moms.

 What's a Liger? | Science Buzz
Ligers are the result of a mating between a male lion and a female tiger.
And since ligers and tigons are not animals that would occur naturally in the wild, as the ranges of the two animals do not overlap, their true behavior may never be known.

 Evolution: Library: Tigons and Ligers
These images of a male lion, tiger, "tigon," and "liger" seem to confuse the issue.
Although they rarely meet in the wild, lions and tigers are still so closely related that they are able to interbreed, and in captivity they occasionally do.
The key words are "interbreed successfully"; tigons and ligers generally are sterile and short-lived -- an evolutionary dead end.

His compound here at Shambala allows him plenty of room for exercise; and a stream runs through it so his tiger half can play in the water or his lion half can stay out of it, whichever he chooses.
Ligers and their counterparts, tigons (tiger father and lioness mother), almost certainly exist only in captivity.
