A very rare black tiger, estimated to live in the jungles of India alone, around the world, was captured by cameras.
According to the British Daily Metro on the 6th, amateur photographer Sumen Bajipae, 27, recently spotted a black tiger while observing birds and monkeys in eastern Orissa, India, and captured the image on camera.
This is the third time a black tiger has been detected, following the past 1990 and 2007.
A type of Bengal tiger, which has a particularly high black pigment due to genetic variation, the black stripes are dense and wide, making it difficult to see the orange hairs of ordinary tigers.
It is also a little smaller than a normal Bengal tiger and is less visible to human eyes.
"When I saw the black tiger, I couldn't think of anything," Sumen said. "It suddenly appeared in the woods and wandered for a few seconds before disappearing back into the woods."
"It was completely different from the tigers I saw in the wild and in the zoo in the past," he said. "It was only a few seconds, but I was very lucky to see the black tiger."
The World Wildlife Fund says that only 3,900 tigers remain in the wild around the world, and that there are 7 to 8 black tigers living in the forested state of Orissa, India, which is threatened with extinction.
India is home to 70% of the world's wild tigers.
