Kiara is a curious cat: Her father is an African lion and her mother is a liger – a cross between a lion and a tiger.

Thought to be the world’s first known “liliger,” Kiara was born last month in the Novosibirsk Zoo in Russia, ABC News reports.

To make things even more complicated, the super-hybridized feline is reportedly being raised by an ordinary house cat named Dasha after her liger mother wasn’t able to provide the newborn cub with enough milk, the Sun reports.
