Ava, a three-year-old golden tabby tiger from Thailand, has become an internet sensation after photos of her were shared on Facebook on November 19. She is one of the rarest Bengal tiger variants, with fewer than 30 known to exist in captivity. Ava and her sister Luna are known for their unique golden coloration, which comes from a recessive gene. Their parents were brought to the Chiang Mai Night Safari in 2015, contributing to their rare genetic heritage. Ava's playful nature and fluffy appearance have captured the hearts of many online. Her growing popularity is expected to attract more visitors to the Chiang Mai Night Safari, where she can be seen daily.
