As you have noticed, this tiger is different from those we used to see. This one is called a golden tabby tiger. It is a tiger with an extremely rare color variation, which is caused by a recessive gene and is normally found only in captive tigers. But it is not a separate species of tigers, it’s just a color form.
Golden tigers also tend to be larger and, due to the effect of the gene on the hair shaft, have softer fur than their orange relatives. There are currently believed to be fewer than 30 of these rare tigers in the world, but many more carry the gene.
In a Californian zoo a mother tiger couldn't get over her triplet tiger cubs' death. The depression endangered her health, so the veterinarians came up with a decision! They found orphan weaner piglets and wrapped them in tiger skin. Sometimes animals take care of other species, but is this the case? See whether the piglets have become a dinner or a family...

Most zoos don’t allow visitors to see tigers eye to eye. But if you come to Thailand and visit a local tiger farm, you will be allowed not only to pat a tiger but also to hold this animal. Baby tigers look so sweet and innocent, and even grown tigers look tamed here. Still you can’t forget that they are superb predators.

As the photo in this post shows sometimes it is better to be lucky than good.
