Question: And are there others?

52.  Yes.  You also have Ligers and Tigons, also Tigion:  Under certain conditions, as in enforced confinement of zoos, tigers have been known to mate with lions.

53.  The offspring of such relations are called "Tigons" when the male parent is a tiger, and "Ligers" when the male parent is a tiger, and "Ligers" when the male parent is a lion, from the Bengal tooth tiger, related to the Saber tooth tiger of pre-historic times.
