Description
One of the two Sumatran Tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae) on display at The Melbourne Zoo, first time I have been able to get a good photo of one of them in the two years I’ve been trying.
Melbourne Zoo is involved in a captive breeding program for these critically endangered animals. Four cubs were born in February 2010.
Sumatran Tigers are the smallest of all tigers, and their size assists them in navigating the dense, tropical forests in which they hunt.The Sumatran Tiger is found on the Indonesian island of Sumatra in habitat ranging from mountainous forests to lowland forests. The Sumatran Tiger is one of nine subspecies of tiger (three of which are already extinct), and it is believed that these animals became isolated to Sumatra when rising sea levels smothered the land, causing the formation of islands in the region.
