The Sumatran tiger as its name suggests is found only on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. It is the smallest of the tigers alive today. Like all tigers the Sumatran is critically endangered because of poaching and habitat destruction, there are as few as 350 left in the wild today. :(

a beautiful tigress was cooling off in a pond, giving us great opportunities to shoot close ups, Ranthambhore NP, India
It's fascinating to observe the patience and stealth of tigers in their native environment. As ambush hunters, they can wait for hours until their prey is within lunging distance. We watched as this tigress found the perfect spot and waited until some deer came close enough. When she lunged, they barely made their escape. But the next time, they might not be so lucky.
On my trip to india in 2012 we did not see many tigers but towards the end we did manage to see a couple, this young 4 year old with amazing blue eyes.
Also i need to add that when i seen this tiger in 2012 he had a slight injury from fighting with another mail tiger, when i returned in 2013 i was told that the tiger died from his injuries.

The Amur tiger, formerly known as the Siberian tiger, is one of the largest cats in the world and is found only in the Russian Far East with a small number ranging across the border into China and possibly North Korea.
In the 1940s, it was on the brink of extinction with less than 50 individuals remaining in the wild. This was due to decades of almost continual political instability with the Russian Revolution and the formation of the Soviet Union. However in 1947 after the Second World War, Russia became the first country to ban tiger hunting and offer tigers full protection. Hunting of the main prey species, boar and deer, became restricted by annual quota based on the results of population counts. Poaching of tigers became relatively rare, because there was no market for skins and other tiger products, although hunters on occasion killed their “competitor” when an opportunity presented itself.

Always a super day out at Marwell Wildlife. The gorgeous tiger cubs were on form in the late afternoon.
well, obviously not a dog paddle! The cubs really enjoy swimming; I believe tigers are the only cats that like to swim.

Female tiger named Sriracha seen at Big Island zoo spots me.
Info: She is orange with black stripes and brown eyes. Bengal Tigers are found mostly in India with a few in Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, and West Myanmar.
Zoos can be a mixed experience. On one hand it’s sad to see animals in cages and enclosures as captives. On the other hand both kids and adults seem to love a zoo experience where animals can be viewed up close and photographed.
Something about being in close proximity to animals makes you feel good or gives you a ‘wilderness’ experience.
This photo taken at Panaʻewa Rainforest Zoo in Hilo, Hawaiʻi [Big Island] which is a 12-acre zoo in a rain-forest. Animals are exhibited in a natural setting wherever possible according to zoo info.
