GOLDEN TIGER


     The Golden tiger, also known as a golden tabby tiger or a strawberry tiger, is extremely rare. Like White tigers, they have a recessive gene that today is only found in captive tigers. Right now there are currently fewer than 30 Golden tigers in the world. The earliest records were recorded in the early 1900's. The difference between other tigers and the Golden tiger is Golden tigers have more fur, which is much softer, their striping is paler and could fade into spots or large patches. And like the White tiger they are much bigger than normal tigers. If a golden tiger is born in the wild it might have a hard time for it doesn't have good camouflage. The last known Golden tiger was shot outside of Mysore Pradesh, India, in the early 20th century.
