Panthera tigris sumatrae

Panthera tigris sumatrae, commonly known as the Sumatran tiger, is a subspecies of tiger found only on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. It is the smallest of all tiger species and has distinctive dark stripes set against a reddish-orange coat. Sumatran tigers are critically endangered, with habitat loss and poaching significantly reducing their numbers. These solitary predators primarily hunt deer and wild boar in forests and grasslands. Conservation efforts, including habitat protection and anti-poaching initiatives, are essential to ensure the survival of this unique and vital part of the world's wildlife.
