Nowadays, the population of the Sumatran Tiger is about 400

Nowadays, the population of the Sumatran Tiger is about 400
species. Some animals live in zoos in Europe, Australia, and
North America. The greatest population is found in parks and
reserves of Indonesia. Its body parts and pelt have always been
hunted for as "essential" constituents of medicines.

The tiger is one of the most feared animals in the world. That is
probably because it is the largest of the felids, although the
Sumatran tiger is smaller than the Indian tiger. The tiger is
known for its stripes, and the Sumatran tiger has stripes that
are a little closer to each other than some other subspecies of
tiger.

Tigers eat mostly sambar, chital, Red deer, Swamp deer, Rusa
deer, and Wild pigs. Occasionally, however, they will kill a
rhino or elephant calf. About one in ten or twenty attempts to
catch prey is successful.

Unlike the cheetah and lion, the tiger does not live in open
areas. They rely on ambushing their prey, which requires
something to hide them. As a result, they prefer to live in
moderate to dense cover.

Sometimes, they are seen near waterfalls and other water
resources trying to cool themselves in hot weather. Moreover,
they are good swimmers and are known to cross several rivers in
search of prey. The species is equipped with webbed toes, which
is just another Sumatran Tigers' adaptation for life in the wild.
