FfFfFfFF 58,077 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Recently, photos of an extremely rare golden tiger have gone viral on social media. Wildlife photographer Mayuresh Hendre spotted the majestic animal in Kaziranga, Assam, India. Regarding its golden fur and skin, scientists believe that it is caused by a recessive gene that gets expressed due to extensive inbreeding. This spectacular tiger also has red and brown stripes. The other time the golden tiger was caught on camera was in 2019. Source: 1, 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigers and Lions roaming freely and near villages there Unfortunately, this is at least partly one of the consequences of deforestation and habitat destruction disrupting the lives of native animal species.. In 2020, there were around 674 lions in India (compared to 1B people), so the chances of encountering them are pretty low (sidenote: imagine how sad a world where lions or tigers went extinct would be - or worse, if this process happens during our lifetime & in front of our eyes ).
