A rare subspecies of tiger found on Sumatra, an Indonesian island. There are around 500 left in the wild and approximately 200 in breeding programs, including these tigers at the Australian Zoo.
It's all Happening at the zoo. While I was less than a foot away from the tiger, there was a thick piece of glass between us.

Good Morning All, I hope everyone is enjoying the weekends. Last night I went to Taronga Zoo with my friends to attend the Zoofari Ball 2014, a fund-raising event to raise money to save Sumatran Tigers.
Those who don’t know about Sumatran tigers, they are a rare tiger subspecies that inhabits the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Because of heavy deforestation and poaching this beautiful creatures are closer to being extinct. If this continues this noble creature could end up like its extinct Javan and Balinese relatives. There are only 400 of them left in the wild and their population is dwindling rapidly. But despite increased efforts in tiger conservation including law enforcement and anti poaching activities the market for Sumatran tigers are high in Sumatra and rest of Asia. Zoos around have joined the battle to prevent this creature from extinction, but the prospect of losing the last of the world’s wild tigers within the next five years continues to loom.
The event was a huge success. I don’t know how much they raised as they still didn’t posted any info on their website. Most of the fund raised will be spend on breeding programs, research and other activities. This photo was taken at Taronga Zoo just before the event. This guy was already sleeping when I visited his cage. I guess he had his dinner early. I had to knock on the glass to get him to look the camera. Excuse about the quality. This is the only image I got him to look at the camera. I got really excited that I didn’t look for focussing properly. Feel free to share the photo. Enjoy the weekend.
