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!

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
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

Female Sumatran Tiger at the San Diego Zoo Safari park. Cathy or Debbie, I can never tell them apart!
I photographed these two tiger cubs on November 9, 2017 at the San Diego Zoo's Safari Park. I wished they were not up against a wire fence, but at least their eyes were open, and they did move from time to time. Really cute to watch.
According to the San Diego Union Tribune on October 17, 2017: "The 12-week-old Bengal tiger cub was brought to the park in August after a teenager tried to smuggle it into the U.S. from Mexico. The 14-week-old Sumatran cub was born at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo in Washington, D.C., but its mother was becoming aggressive toward him when nursing. When word of the other seized orphan cub spread, the two zoos decided to put the tigers together as playmates."
Other pictures that I've taken over the years at Safari Park can be seen, logically enough, in my Safari Park album. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628351207247/
