"True king of the forest," a user said reacting to Sarma's post. "This is beautiful Assam," another comment reads.
"It’s a grown up tiger, and how come it has not been spotted till now? Surprise !!! Luckily, no poaching happened. We need better vigilance for sure," another person expressed his opinion.
Gaurav Ram Narayanan had shared the picture of the golden tiger on Instagram with the caption, "It is Day 2 today on a private tour in Kaziranga. While we weren’t very focussed on tigers and were looking more for birds and rhinos. We came around a corner and about 800 meters away, something white came onto the road. Pretty sure it was a tiger, I looked through my lens and was in for a bigger surprise. It was the Golden Tiger. "
He also added, "Effectively at 1120 mm, there was still a speck in the frame. Drove a few 100 meters closer. Still wasn’t bothered by us. A bit closer, and he got up. At this point, I was anxious that we might lose him. Bold as he was, he walked straight at us. First the 2x came off and next I switched off the inbuilt TC. From 1120mm to 400mm, he kept coming closer and casually walked off. Incredible day! Incredible sighting! Incredible Big Cat."
