Sumatran Tiger

I wish that I could say that this was taken on location, however I cannot!

The Picture was taken at the Wildlife Heritage Foundation in Kent, they run breeding programs for rare cats and unfortunately are not open to the public.

The Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae) is a subspecies of tiger found on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Recent genetic testing has revealed the presence of unique genetic markers, which isolate Sumatran tigers from all mainland subspecies. Currently, there are only 100-400 Sumatran tigers left in the wild.
The Sumatran tiger is the smallest of all extant tiger subspecies. Male Sumatran tigers average 204 cm in length from head to tail and weigh about 136 kg. Females average 198 cm in length and weigh about 91 kg. Its stripes are narrower than other subspecies of tigers' stripes, and it has a more bearded and maned appearance, especially the males. Its small size makes it easier to move through dense rain forests. It has webbing between its toes that, when spread, makes Sumatran tigers very fast swimmers. It has been known to drive hoofed prey into the water, especially if the prey animal is a slow swimmer.
Sumatran tigers commonly prey on wild boar, tapir and deer, and sometimes also smaller animals, like fowl, monkeys, and fish. Orangutans could be prey, but since they spend a minimal amount of time on the ground, tigers rarely catch one but if they do it is a good meal to them.
