I was lucky enough to see a tiger also in Kaziranga. I was in the Agoratoli (Eastern ) Range and the sun has gone down the horizon. I just wanted to see some of the Anti Poaching Camps. The determined and committed frontline staff in these camps has fought hard with the poachers to make this a safe place for rhinoceros now. The forester driving the vehicle was narrating me many stories of ambush with the poachers. Suddenly we saw one tiger moving ahead of us on the road. The light was pretty bad and distance was much. This was the best image which I could get before the tiger suddnly disappeared in the bushes. This was clicked at 20,000 ISO and 500 mm (equivalent to 750 mm).

To my knowledge, this is the first "golden tabby" wild tiger photographed but I could be mistaken on that.

Wow, white and tabby tiger DO exist in the wild! That is perfect. I told you @Pckts  

It is incredible that with such a low tiger population there are at elast two new records of white and tabby tigers in the wild. This is amazing but at the same time is necesary to get more protection for the tigers in this areas.

Haha you were right, it's a shame that neither of the two white brothers have been seen recently and the Tabby has also evaded photo capture since this shot as well. Reply
