it’s actually more amazing than that

hybrids are sterile, they can’t have babies - but she did

Not quite, generally with hybrids like this, in mammals the males will be sterile but the females are more likely to be able to reproduce (bc they have two X chromosomes, only one needs to function, so bit more robust than XY - fun fact in birds it’s the other way around, female bird hybrids are sterile, males often not). That’s why the cub is a liliger - she can’t reproduce with a male liger (bc they’re sterile) but she can with a male lion.
