Do ligers have any known birth defects?

Ligers, which are hybrids of male lions and female tigers, can experience a range of health issues, some of which may be considered birth defects. These can include skeletal abnormalities, immune system deficiencies, and organ problems due to their mixed genetics. Additionally, ligers often suffer from gigantism, leading to larger-than-normal size and associated health complications. However, specific data on the frequency and types of defects in ligers is limited, as they are not commonly found in the wild and are primarily bred in captivity.
