Panthera Tigris Sumatrae

or "Harimau Sumatra"

 

more on English or Indonesian

 

This animal becomes myth in West Sumatra. One said there is an agreement between Tingkas (Founder of Kerinci) and Harimau (Tiger, EN) to watch and guard its own teritory. Harimau is in the jungle, whilst Tingkas and his descendant lives in village and city. This story tells us to keep the balance of nature. Keep the food pyramid stable.

 

It's a rare animal nowadays.
