The Chiang Mai Night Safari has introduced the world to its latest attraction: Ava, a strikingly beautiful golden Bengal tiger. Photos of Ava posing gracefully were shared on the safari's official Facebook page, quickly capturing the hearts of netizens around Thailand and across the globe, turning this three-year-old feline into the latest sensation in unusual wildlife attractions.

 

The post, introducing the alluring Ava as the sister of Luna, another popular tiger at the safari, became an instant hit. Garnering as many as 31,000 'likes', 2,700 comments, and 25,000 shares as of Thursday, Ava's social media debut paints a vivid picture of her rising popularity.

 

Netizens from all around couldn't resist her charm, showering her with compliments for her majestic presence and captivating eyes. Some even commented that Ava's captivating charm made her seem too adorable to be a wild predator.

 

 

Chiang Mai Night Safari further fuelled interest by explaining that Ava's unique coat - a golden take on the Bengal tiger's typical orange-black palette - is due to a rare recessive gene. This mutation is rare, occurring only in 50 to 100 tigers worldwide, thereby adding further intrigue to Ava's distinctive appeal.

 

Ava is not the first member of her family to create buzz online. Luna, her sister, had previously seen her own images spread across social media like wildfire.

 

The Chiang Mai Night Safari offers a spectacular opportunity for wild-life enthusiasts eager to see Ava and Luna up close. The 'Tiger World' zone, home to these viral predators, is open daily from 11 am to 2 pm. As the lights go down in Chiang Mai, these Golden Girls ensure the stars continue to shine.

The 'rare killing machine', as you stupidly call it, should be left to live in its own native habitat, and if humans are scared of being killed, stay away.

No idea what you are on about. A tiger will kill a human if it is antagonised or endangered or hungry.
