The rare pale tiger generated a lot of buzz in Indian media. The first journalist to connect with me was one based out of Ooty, Nilgiris. After that, there was a spate of articles in domestic media, print and online. Times of India, The Hindu, Hindustan Times, Deccan Herald, Bangalore Mirror, Bombay Times, Malayala Manorama etc. The initial articles used ‘white tiger’ in the headline, but subsequently correct technical terms – ‘pale tiger’, ‘colour morphism” etc. were used.
