A highly rare Tiger variation - the 'Golden Tiger', has been seen in the Kaziranga National Park in #India. A product of recessive genes, this special #tiger is indeed majestic & truly one of its kind.

the Golden Tiger is the only recorded individual in the wild in 21st Century. They can be found in zoos and breeding centres but no verified records in the wild exist. images clicked by Wildlife photographer @Mayuresh_Hendre of the Golden Tiger at the @kazirangaNational Park. pic.twitter.com/OrIhdkCc9x
