'Golden Tiger' spotted for the first time in 2023 at Assam's Kaziranga National Park; watch

At a time when several measures are being taken in regard to tiger conservation, India has already recorded 30 tiger deaths so far from Kanha, Panna, Ranthambore, Pench, Corbett, Satpura, Orang, Kaziranga, and Sathyamangalam reserves, in just two months into 2023. While the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) has stated that it is not yet a cause for alarm, a rare ‘golden tiger’ was recently spotted for the first time in 2023. A golden tiger, also called the golden tabby tiger is an extremely rare animal of the particular colour variation which is caused by a recessive gene that is currently only found in captive tigers.

Sharing the video of the recent tiger spotting, former Norweigan diplomat Erik Solheim took to Twitter to call it ‘good news’ for India. “This is the first time for this year 2023, Golden Tiger ( fewer than 30 in the world) sighting. They’re very rare and founded in Kaziranga last time in 2020,” he wrote.
