Liger Cubs' Mortality Rates
In China, there have been a lot of focus on the cross breeding of the lion and the tiger to produce liger. The same is true about United States as well which has the highest numbers of ligers in the world right now. Mortality rates of the new born liger cubs can provide significance evidence that whether the ligers as a species are prone to mortality. Either an evidence from China or United States can be highly reliable to measure the mortality rates of the liger cubs. Here are some of the observations, about the cubs being born and their survival as well as the deaths.
A tigress gave birth to a liger named as Zao Zao during 2004, but the liger died after 50 hours. The same tigress gave birth to four liger cubs at the same time but one of the died, while the rest of the three survived. Since 2004, this tigress has given birth to about 12 ligers, only 2 of them have died. Another tigress during 2002 gave birth to another liger in the Hongshan zoo in Nanjing. That liger died just after a week. That was the first ever liger cub being born in China. In 2002 again another tigress in the Fozhou province gave birth to a liger which lived around 100 days or approximately three and a half months. These analyses indicate that very few ligers have died during the birth time or onwards. Just 2 ligers have died out of total 12 ligers. The same statistics can be true even for a lioness and tigress giving births to their young ones. Therefore, there is no firm evidence that liger cubs are weak and the mortality rates among the liger cubs are high. This example from ligerworld.com can truly give one fact that liger cubs have normal mortality rates in captivity and is comparable with the mortality rates with that of the lions and tigers.
However, an inexperienced tigress, giving birth to liger potentially increases the mortality rates of the liger cubs. If we look at the statistics of the tigress which has given birth to 12 ligers, the first death was when the tigress was having first delivery, while the second mortality was when tigress gave birth to quadruplets. It is very common for the big cats in captivity to abandon their cubs at their first birth.
The tigress named as Huan Huan also holds the highest record in the world to produce maximum numbers of ligers. It has produced 12 ligers so far. None of the other tigress has produced that much liger cubs so far. However, in some parts of the world, there are restrictions to produce liger cubs. Taiwan is one such example, where a huge fine in thousands of US dollars can be imposed if one tries to cross-breed lions and tigers.
It can also be concluded that, the mortality rates of the liger cubs are as normal as lion and tigers cubs. There has not been any evidence of high mortality rates that has been recorded. This study also negates the high mortality rates of the liger cubs as well. Therefore, these statistics do not indicate any relationship in between high mortality rates of the liger cubs being born.
