IUCN: Critically Endangered

• Sumatran tigers are the smallest of the five remaining sub-species of tiger. Their stripes are also narrower than other tiger species. 
• They have short powerful legs, huge paws and a large powerful jaw.
• Tigers are solitary animals with male and female only coming together for mating.  Babies stay with their mother and have no contact with their father.
• There are only a few hundred Sumatran tigers left in the wild, and without help they may become extinct in the near future.
• Webbing between their toes enables the Sumatran tiger to be a very efficient and fast swimmer. If given the chance the tiger will run hoofed prey into the water where the animal is at a much greater disadvantage because they cannot swim well.
• Like a human fingerprint, no two tigers have the same pattern of stripes on their coats. Tigers have striped skin, not just striped fur.
• Tigers fail at least 90% of the time in catching prey during hunts.
