Put your tail down! Gross liger.

Not a species. The males are infertile so they cannot breed new ligers.

Which is why the title says extant feline, not species.

That's not the actual definition of species (for example, assume a formerly viable species was reduced to three infertile members), but ask ten biologists to define species and you'll get twelve answers so whatever
