It is actually a tiger. Forest Department officer Sushant Nanda has shared this video on the internet. It is a black tiger found in Similibal forest in Odisha. Its body is completely black. Only the lines are dark red. Some stripes are also seen in gold color. It is a very rare type of tiger. A change in its cells is said to be the reason for this color change.

Number of tigers

Yes.. since 2017, 2018 and 2019 many tigers in Odisha have started this discolouration. Since the last 50 to 60 years, the Senda tribe of Similipal area in Odisha have mentioned that the tigers are changing color. But wildlife researchers who study tigers in the first place don’t believe it. But now the tigers under their watch are starting to change colour.

why this?

This makes the tigers look very strange. It has been found that the reason for this is the gene change in the body of tigers. It has been discovered that these lines may have been changed due to a gene mutation in the tigers’ body transmembrane aminopeptidase Q, or Dogpep, which may have given the tigers a new color. The video of these tigers is currently going viral on the internet.
