This solves nothing. Hybrids between lions and tigers are infertile, no chance of offspring. Also no matter how different the two parents there is still a maximum variation of just four for any given gene. Of course that is assuming both parents are heterozygous for that gene.
Notice I said a lion like and a tiger like animal...not what we know today as a tiger and a lion.

Please get it right next time.
