An adorable three-year-old golden tiger at a Thai zoo has emerged as the newest sensation, rivalling the baby pygmy hippo Moo Deng, after her online debut on November 19.
The Chiang Mai Night Safari in northern Thailand shared photos of the golden tabby tiger named Eva on its Facebook page, garnering 34,000 likes and 24,000 shares within just two days.
Eva made her entrance three weeks after her sister Luna, even though both were born on February 16, 2021.
Their parents were brought to the safari park from the Czech Republic and South Africa in July 2015.
The zoo introduced their species as golden tigers, a rare variant of the Bengal tiger characterised by a recessive colour-changing gene.
