Sumatran Tigers are in the cat family. The Latin name for Sumatran tigers is panthera tigris
sumatrae.
Dynamics
Every tiger
in the world is unique – no two tigers in the world have the same pattern of
stripes.
A
mother tiger is called a tigeress. She
has about three cubs at once. At first she hides them in a cave or bush. New cubs
drink their mother’s milk and they grow fast.
Tigers
hunt at night. They catch frogs and insects.They can see well in the dark and their whiskers help them to
feel their way in the grass.
Diet
Their
diet is buffalo, deer, wild pigs and antelopes.
Habitat
The
Sumatran tiger is natively found only on the Indonesian island of Sumatra they
live in
jungles.
Sadly they
have been put away in small enclosures for people to look at in zoos and they
are being killed for their skins and meat.
