Golden Tabby Tigers












Image via Wikipedia

I stumbled upon these rare beauties accidentally when I was researching my own Sable wolf. The markings were truly phenomenal, consisting of light golden fur, orange stripes, and very pale legs. The colors are derived from a recessive gene that creates a somewhat strawberry color variation. Their fur tends to be much thicker than normal, and it resembles the same thickness of Bengal tigers. There are only around 30 of these rare tigers still in captivity today.
