⑧ Sumatran Tiger

 

 

 

The Sumatran Tiger will be the very first fresh-eating animal you'd be going to see in this zoo. They are the subspecies and the body is smaller than other tigers, the fur color is darker and their own stripes are thicker.

This Sumatran tigers are classified as critically endangered, are truly on the verge of extinct by illegal business and decreasing of their habitant. Yet it is illegal, there are markets handling furs of poached tigers in Indonesia without being concerned illegal. And also large deforestations of Sumatran island and large forest fires are one of the factors that their existence is harmed.

They tend to be closer to water different from ordinary felines, and tend to climb on the tree sometimes. But whenever I go see him, he always lays down its body on the ground and just gives me a glare. Even if they are called smallest tiger of all subspecies of tigers, they still look so gorgeous and have a power.
