Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae) is a sub-species of tiger, most commonly found on Sumatra island in Indonesia. It is 234 cm or 6 feet 8 inches long and weighs around 136 kg. It has narrower stripes compared to other species. It's estimated that there are less than 500 Sumatran tigers left throughout the world today. This decline in number can be attributed to cruel poaching of this magnificent creature specifically for its precious skin which has a high demand in the International market.
(Panthera tigris) The tiger is the largest cat species Today, they range from the Siberian taiga to open grasslands and tropical mangrove swamps. The remaining six tiger subspecies have been classified as endangered by IUCN.
This is actually one of the last images from a yawn, but it comes across as aggressive. Taken at Point Defiance Zoo.
I took this on a vist to London Zoo a few years ago but have only just managed to get the image off my memory card. The original was in colour but I think it looks stunning in B&W. Let me know what you think.
Swallowtails visit my butterfly bush daily but his is the first really perfect specimen I have seen. Most have defects, IE: broken tails, damaged wings, etc!
