The Sumatran tiger is a subspecies of tiger found only on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. It is the smallest of all tiger subspecies, with males weighing between 220 to 310 pounds and females weighing around 140 to 260 pounds. Known for its distinctive dark orange coat with black stripes, the Sumatran tiger is well-adapted to its forest habitat, where it primarily hunts deer, wild boar, and other small mammals.
This tiger is classified as critically endangered due to habitat loss, poaching, and declining prey populations. Conservation efforts are underway to protect the Sumatran tiger and its habitat, involving local communities and organizations to ensure its survival in the wild.
