The Sumatran tiger is the smallest tiger in the world, a rare subspecies that inhabits the Indonesian island of Sumatra.
Distinguished by heavy black stripes, orange coats, slightly larger manes, and they are very good swimmers. Sadly the Sumatran Tiger is vulnerable to extinction.
Sumatran Tiger was classified as critically endangered by IUCN in 2008. The population is estimated to be less than 500 in the wild today. Tigers face unrelenting poachers, accelerated deforestation due to high logging activities taking place in their natural habitat, causing loss of their habitat and prey.
Hope you enjoyed my pics!

I spent the day today at the Yorkshire Wildlife Park near Doncaster. They've currently got three tiger cubs who are very cute indeed, and photogenic.
Absolutely love Tigers, waited all day for this shot of him because he was hiding all day but spotted him high in the trees just before going home, i was thinking the sun had just come out for the first time all day he was watching for the sunset. LOL
Amur (or Siberian) Tigers at Yorkshire Wildlife Park. There are thought to be less than 500 of these magnificent Tigers left in the wild and those at the Yorkshire Wildlife Park are part of the European breeding Programme. The female there gave birth to 3 cubs in spring last year and I suspect that this is the mother and one of the (now well grown) cubs, judging by the affection shown between them.
Another shot below.
Not a whole bunch of wild tigers roaming around Atlantic Canada so this image was taken at the Moncton Zoo New Brunswick Canada, not a half bad shot for shooting through a wire fence.

I am a great fan of big cats, But they need to be treated with the utmost respect.
They not only have very strong jaws but also very sharp teeth, when hunting very large prey, tigers prefer to bite the throat until the prey dies of strangulation. Tigers have one of the strongest bite among big cats. PSI: 950
A human bite is 55 -200 psi
White tigers are a kind of tiger whose fur is white or almost white. This coloration is caused by a recessive gene. White tigers have been known to inhabit many parts of East Asia, including India and China. However, their current range has been much reduced due to excessive poaching.
Compared to orange tigers without the white gene, white tigers tend to be larger both at birth and at full adult size. This may have given them an advantage in the wild despite their unusual coloration. Heterozygous orange tigers also tend to be larger than other orange tigers. Kailash Sankhala, the director of the New Delhi Zoo in the 1960s, said "one of the functions of the white gene may have been to keep a size gene in the population, in case it's ever needed.

Tiger and Turtle nimmt über die in ihm angelegte Dialektik von Geschwindigkeit und Stillstand Bezug auf die Umbruchsituation in der Region und deren Wandel durch Rückbau und Umstrukturierung. Indem die Skulptur die dem Bild der Achterbahn anhaftenden Erwartungen ad absurdum führt, reflektiert sie ihre eigene Rolle als potentielles überregionales Wahrzeichen, welches zwangsläufig als Bild vereinnahmt wird. Sie stellt der Logik des ewigen Wachstums eine absurd‐widersprüchliche Struktur entgegen, die sich einer eindeutigen Interpretation widersetzt.“

Tiger and Turtle, through the dialectic of speed and stillness, is referring to the upheaval situation in the region and its change through dismantling and restructuring. By sculpturing the absurdity of the image of the roller coaster, the sculpture reflects its own role as a potential supraregional landmark, which is inevitably taken as an image. It counteracts the logic of eternal growth with an absurdly contradictory structure that opposes a clear interpretation. "

Während der Löwe auf meinem Bild "König der Löwen" ja richtig nett aussieht, gibt es beim Tiger gar keinen Zweifel, was der mit mir machen würde...
While the lion looks like a nice guy, there is no doubt what the tiger will do with you!
