Why are ligers indargerd?

Ligers, the hybrid offspring of a male lion and a female tiger, are considered endangered primarily due to the declining populations of their parent species, both of which are threatened in the wild. Additionally, ligers are often born in captivity, where they face health issues and genetic complications due to their mixed lineage. Their existence is largely a result of human intervention, and they do not naturally occur in the wild, further complicating conservation efforts. As such, preserving the habitats and populations of lions and tigers is crucial for the survival of ligers.
