Golden Tabby tiger And Other fancy big cats

So. Have you ever heard about the golden tabby tiger?

golden tiger/Golden tabby tiger/strawberry tiger is one with an extremely rare color variation caused by a recessive gene and is currently only found in captive tigers. Like the white tiger, it is a color form and not a separate species. In the case of the golden tiger, this is the wide band gene; while the white tiger is due to the color inhibitor (chinchilla) gene. There are currently believed to be fewer than 30 of these rare tigers in the world.

So we all know how the normal tiger looks like.
