  Maltese tiger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Maltese Tiger or Blue Tiger (Panthera tigris melitensis) is an extremely rare color morph of tiger that has historically been reported in the Fujian Province of China and has only been sighted on a few occasions.
The term "Maltese" means "slate grey" and comes from the domestic cat world; it does not refer to Malta as the origin of the blue tigers.
A smokey blue pseudo-melanistic tiger cub was born in the Oklahoma Zoo in 1964 to ordinary Bengal tiger parents.

 Liger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The liger (Panthera leogris) is a cross (a hybrid) between a female tiger and a male lion.
Tigers, however, are largely solitary and a female on heat normally only mates with one male.
When a male tiger mates with a lioness, his genes are not promoting large growth of the offspring, but the lioness's genes still inhibit their growth.

 Lioncrusher's Domain -- Tiger (Panthera tigris) facts and pictures
Tigers are the largest of a group of cats known as the great cats (tigers, lions, leopards, jaguars) Great cats are distinguished from the other cats by their ability to roar.
Tigers have a ground coloration ranging from a rusty orange to yellow orange color, with its underbody and face being creamy to white, and are flanked by large vertical stripes.
White tigers, like other white animals such as lions, are not albinos because they have stripes and their eyes have color: being blue and not pink or red.

 Tiger Colours -- The maltese or blue tiger.
Caldwell was experienced in recognising tigers and during his time in China he shot literally dozens of the big cats.
Caldwell described the tiger as having a maltese base colour which changed to deep blue on the undersides.
But few, if any, of these tigers exist in the wild now and the number of blue sightings is out of proportion to the tiny population (perhaps 30 cats) which may remain.

 The Liger @ Y2U.co.uk   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Male tigers do not compete for status, and mate in the way that lions do; a tigress only mates with one tiger when in season, so a tiger does not have the same genetic predisposition to produce large competing offspring.
Being the offspring of a male lion and female tiger, the liger inherits the growth-promoting gene unfettered by a growth-inhibiting gene and typically grows larger than either animal; this is called growth dysplasia.
Female tigons and female ligers both possess a tiger X chromosome and a lion X chromosome, yet only the female ligers will grow large, which suggests that either something happens to alter the genes or the cause of the growth dysplasia lies at least partially outside of genetics.

 Cynomorium: Parasitic Plant Widely Used in Traditional Medicine
Off the west coast of Gozo, the smaller of the two main Maltese islands, there is an irregular block of limestone rising from the sea, some 180 meters long and about 60 meters high (600 by 200') with a flattish, sloping top and sheer cliffs on all sides.

 The Cryptid Zoo: Blue and Black Tigers
Today, white tigers have been confirmed and now exist in many zoos, but their cousins blue tigers and fl tigers are still sneered at by skeptics.
Blue tigers and fl tigers are of only slight interest in the field of cryptozoology, because it seems most likely that they will simply be a color phase due to a mutant gene, and not worthy of being declared a new subspecies or species.
Some "fl tigers" have, in fact, turned out to just be large melanistic leopards, but most reports of fl tigers have not resulted in a specimen being delivered to scientists, so the issue is still in doubt.
