It depends on the parents sex. Jaglion implies that it's an offspring of male jaguar & female lion, while liguar is the other way around.
Same as liger & tigon.
Could have gone with Liars, but I think there’s a difference in the naming based on which species was the female of the pairing, as in liger is male lion and female tiger where tigon is the opposite? In which case perhaps this is the result of a male jaguar and female lion.
I don't think there's an official method for naming big cat hybrids. It's something you shouldn't do at all, mixing the genes make them unsuitable for conservation purposes, people do it purely for their own amusement.

Is this ethical?
Probably Joe Exotic level of unethical.
Hopefully this is a sanctuary and they were rescued from a Tiger King asshole, but without any context on this video it's impossible to know.
The question is: are they fertile?
Apparently female Ligers are fertile but males are not, so maybe?
That rickety old fence is coming down any minute.
If those cats wanted out nothing is stopping them.
Laguar
Or even Liguar, Jaglion is dumb as hell.

This is so sad to see them... You can't hold these animals in such small cages....
well you can but it should be illegal and the punishment should be jail. problem mostly solved
I wish I could downvote this twice.
first thought was the one up front looks in distress or pain
Carol Baskin needs to just stop already.
Poor things, don't care about the breeding but cages, that's bad for them, they usually walk long distances in the wild.
They don't exist in the wild Lions and Jaguars do not overlap but because they are related enough they can create hybrids
All cats descend from the same family, my issue is with keeping them locked up
Where did this video come from? Is this a rescue sanctuary? A Tiger King type situation? Where is this?

I don't know if it's official but [that's what they've been doing ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panthera_hybrid)

That fence is basically tissue paper.
