Anytime you see multiple species sharing a space like this it’s a clue that what you’re looking at is not a real zoo but either a roadside tourist trap that exploits animals for profit or some rich person who collects exotic animals. Not cute at all.

Yeah those are Gold Tigers, a rare genetic disorder that gets perpetuated through Inbreeding. Which happens almost exclusively in captivity by breeders
