I mean. Donkey+Horse = Mule, but the mule is sterile same with Tiger+Lion = Liger. I would assume they were closer relatives than that.

A liger isn't sterile. It does have a lower chance of conception though
Technically a mule also has a lower chance of conception.
Pedantic note:

Female Tiger + Male Lion = Liger.

Male Tiger + Female Lion = Tigon.
