Four golden tiger infants were born at the Longzhimeng Animal World in Zhejiang's Huzhou on Oct 18.

Golden tiger, sometimes called a golden tabby tiger or strawberry tiger, is a kind of lovely creature with a color variation caused by a recessive gene. It has been listed as an endangered animal species. In China, there are only less than 100 golden tigers left.

Among the four golden tigers, three are male, and one is female, and they were imported from South Africa in Feb 2019.

Four zookeepers now take turns to breed these infant tigers. "We feed them six times a day. However, they are sleeping most of the time," said one of the zookeepers.
