According to Revarso dictionary Tiglon is simply the the hybrid offspring of a male tiger and a female lion.
A tiglon is a hybrid cross between a male tiger (Panthera tigris) and a female lion (Panthera leo). Thus, it has parents with the same genus but of different species. They do not exceed the size of their parent species because they inherit growth-inhibitory genes from the lioness mother, but they do not exhibit any kind of dwarfism or miniaturization; they often weigh around 180 kilograms (400 lb). Cross-breeding between a tiger and lioness can cause difficulties during the lioness' pregnancy, because of the differences in their sizes.
