golden tabby tiger
A golden tabby tiger, golden tiger or strawberry tiger is one with an extremely rare color variation caused by a recessive gene that is currently only found in captive tigers. Like the white tiger, it is a color form and not a separate species. There is no official name given for its colour, it is sometimes referred to as the strawberry tiger because of its coat's blend. There is said to be fewer than 12 of these gold tabby tiger's in the world. India has records of gold tabby tiger in the early 1900s. The strange colour provides the golden tabby tiger's with extra camouflage. The golden tabby tiger tends to be larger and its fur to be softer, they also are much paler than any tiger. There is also tigers that scientist think carry the genes of the golden tabby tiger, improving their chances in breeding. The last known wild golden tabby tigers were shot outside of Mysore Pradesh, India in the early 20th century. The first golden tabby tiger that was born in captivity was in 1983 and this came from standard-colored Bengal tigers, both that carried the recessive gene for the golden tabby tiger and the white colors. It was born at Dr. Josip Marcan's Adriatic Animal Attractions in Deland, Florida. Unless the golden tabby tigers are born they would have no idea which tiger carries recessive genes. So it's rare for a golden tabby tiger to be born. There are only 12 or less golden tabby tigers in the world but many tigers can carry recessive gene of the golden tabby tiger, so we would probably be seeing more in the future. These tigers are a beautiful and awesome breed.
white tiger
The white tiger has a white gene and it causes it to be white and they seem to be a little bigger than the normal ones from birth to being adults. They are also known as the Royal Bengal or the Indian tiger and sometimes in captivity the Siberian tiger. Today there are several hundreds of white tigers in captivity, and also their population seems to be increasing. They are a very popular tiger because of their fur. Its black and white form seems to catch the eye of many people like me. Rewa Maharaja Martand Singh first observed a white tiger (male) named Mohan. After hunting for several moths he was able to capture the first living white tiger seen in nature. With help from official veterinary experts e tried to breed the white tiger with a coloured female tiger. Soon he succeeded in creating a second generation of white tigers and it expanded around the world.
Tasmanian tiger (thylacine)
The Tasmanian Tiger or Thylacine was discovered by Australian Aborigines for thousands of years with a number of rock paintings depicting this strange animal from 1000 BC. European explorers discovered the animal much later when its numbers had shrunk fast, and at that stage it was only native to Tasmania. Abel Tasman, a dutch explorer who discovered Tasmania in 1642 made a record in his journal of seeing footprints of wild beasts with claws like a tiger. Much later, in 1772, French explorers reported seeing a tiger cat. however the Thylacine was only scientifically classified by Europeans in 1808 and unfortunately wiped out by hunting around 1930. The Thylacine was the largest carnivorous marsupial. It resembled a large, short-haired dog with distinctive black stripes across its back. It measured about 2 metres from nose to tail, stood about 60 cm tall and weighed between 20 and 30 kg. Early European settlers compared it to a Hyena with respect to its appearance and general behaviour. The last known wild Tasmanian Tiger was killed by a farmer called Wilf Batty when he shot it outside his hen house in 1930. The last living captive tiger died in 1936 in Hobart Zoo and was known as Benjamin.
