“Ava” is a Golden Tabby Tiger residing at Chiang Mai Night Safari. Born on February 16, 2021, to her father, “Espresso,” and mother, “Krista,” Ava is now 3 years old. The Golden Tabby Tiger is an extremely rare species caused by a genetic mutation that results in light golden fur with soft brown stripes. Currently, there are only about 50–100 Golden Tabby Tigers left in the world.
Ava’s standout features include her large, round eyes and soft golden fur, which make her irresistibly adorable and a favorite among visitors. She is housed in the Tiger World Exhibit at Chiang Mai Night Safari, where visitors can see her every day between 11:00 AM and 7:00 PM.
Ava’s presence is not just about spreading smiles—it’s also a reminder of the importance of conserving endangered species. The Golden Tabby Tiger is a rare and limited population, emphasizing the critical need for dedicated care and conservation efforts.
If you’re interested in meeting Ava and other Golden Tabby Tigers, you can visit Chiang Mai Night Safari, open daily. Your visit not only allows you to enjoy Ava’s cuteness but also supports wildlife conservation initiatives.
