You've probably heard of Moo Deng, an adorable pygmy hippo in Khao Kheow Open Zoo that went insanely viral in September 2024.
It seems like the hype for cute animals is far from over, with Golden Tiger siblings Ava and Luna going viral after being featured on Chiang Mai Night Safari's Facebook page in October and November. Their posts have over 29,000 shares — with many calling the duo the next Moo Deng!
The three-year-old golden tigers have this innocent, doe-eyed gaze — you can't help but smile when you look at photos of them.

Golden Tigers get their unique golden hue as a result of a recessive gene found only in tigers held in captivity. According to the Chiang Mai Night Safari, it's estimated that there are fewer than 100 golden tigers worldwide!
