hi guys, this time I will tell you about the Sumatran island special animals that only exist in INDONESIA, the Sumatran tiger.
The Sumatran tiger (Latin: Panthera tigris sondaica) is a tiger subspecies whose original habitat on the island of Sumatra, is one of six tiger subspecies that survive to date and is included in the classification of critically endangered species.
Being the smallest in its kind, does not mean making the Sumatran Tiger or Panthera tigris sumatrae easy to conquer. This animal is a kind of swim in the water. This is also supported by the membrane contained in between his toes. In fact, residents sometimes label them with the term "water cat". They are also able to climb trees to catch their prey. Not only that, Sumatran tiger can also adjust to all conditions, whether in the lowlands or highlands. Sumatran tiger is included in the category of solitary animals that chase prey at night. Previously, the target game was stalked first before pouncing and eating it. Animals such as pigs, antelope, deer, poultry, fish, and orangutans are a series of animals targeted by Sumatran tigers.
Sumatran tiger is found only on the island of Sumatra. This rare cat is able to live anywhere, from lowland forests to mountain forests, and lives in many unprotected places.
Sumatran tiger is the smallest tiger subspecies. Sumatran tiger has the darkest color among all other tiger subspecies, its black pattern is wide and the meeting distance is sometimes dempet. The male Sumatran tiger has an average length of 92 inches from head to tail or about 250 cm in length from head to foot weighing 300 pounds or about 140 kg, while the height of the adult male can reach 60 cm. Females on average have a length of 78 inches or about 198 cm and weighs 200 pounds or about 91 kg. Tiger tiger dwarfs are thinner than other tiger subspecies. Sumatran tiger skin color is the darkest of all tigers, ranging from reddish yellow to dark orange. This subspecies also has more beards and mane than other subspecies, especially male tigers. Its small size makes it easy to explore the jungle. There is a membrane on the sidelines of his finger that makes them able to swim fast. This tiger is known to corner its prey to the water, especially if the game is slow to swim. The coat turns dark green when giving birth.
The Sumatran tiger is on the edge of extinction due to uncontrolled loss of habitat, reduced number of prey species, and poaching.
so from that let us keep the survival of the Sumatran tiger, so that our grandchildren can see the Sumatran tiger not only know his name and can only see the picture only.
