She's a golden tabby tiger. It's a recesive genetic condition, just like with white tigers. Instead of being orange with black stripes, she's gold with caramel stripes.

No she's what's called a golden tabby bengal tiger. It's a color variation that happens naturally, its just rare.

She is not an albino. Albino animals have no pigmentation so their hair and/or skin is white and their eyes are red because the iris is almost or transparent and you can see the blood behind the eye. That is clearly not the case here. She's a tabby or golden tabby tiger, her coloration is caused by a recessive gene very much like the white tiger with black stripes (which are not albinos either) Here, some more info on the coloration [link]

Actually, red eyes are extremely rare in albinism[humans, that is, I can't speak for animals]. They usually come out a pale blue. The lack of pigmentation must be to a very intense degree for that to occur.

Also, thank you for putting the information here, I was trying to scan the comments for just this. You seem to know what you're talking about. o v o

Yeah in animals that is more common. My grandfather used to breed albino rabbits and their red eyes were striking contrast to their white fur. In junior high I went to school with a boy that had albinism, his eyes were pale gray and his hair white as snow. So I have some personal experience with the condition.

I linked the information on the golden tabby coloration because in deviations like this one there are a significant amount of comments from people that are misinformed and claim something or someone is an albino without really knowing what the term means. Genes are a complicated thing to deal with and their expressions sometimes baffle us so it is always good to dig for information when we are not sure of something.
