There is no such tiger species as the "golden tabby".The golden tabby tiger is actually a Bengal tiger with a colour variation caused by a recessive gene. White tigers, for example, are also Bengal tigers with a recessive gene, As far as we know, no "golden tabby" coloured Bengal tigers have ever appeared in the wild and have, so far, only occurred in captivity. The recessive gene appears to be a side effect of being kept in captivity. It is currently a pretty rare occurrence, however. The name "golden tabby" refers to their colour, not their species. Their species is Bengal tiger.Bengal tigers are endangered and in danger of extinction due to illegal trophy hunters, habitat loss and hunters who wrongly believe that the Bengal tiger has some kind of medicinal benefit.Further Reading:"Golden Tiger" on WikiPedia
