The Sumatran tiger (Latin: Panthera tigris sumatrae) is a tiger subspecies whose original habitat on the island of Sumatra, is one of six tiger subspecies that survive to date and is included in the critically endangered criterion of critically endangered species in the species red list threatened by the IUCN World Conservation Agency. The wild population is estimated between 400-500 tails, mainly living in national parks in Sumatra. Recent genetic testing has revealed unique genetic markers, indicating that this subspecies may develop into separate species, when successfully sustained.

The destruction of habitat is the greatest threat to the current population. Logging continues even in national parks that should be protected. Recorded 66 Sumatran tigers were killed between 1998 and 2000.

Sumatran tiger is the smallest tiger subspecies.  Sumatran tiger has the darkest color among all other tiger subspecies, its black pattern is wide and the meeting distance is sometimes dempet. The male Sumatran tiger has an average length of 92 inches from head to tail or about 250 cm in length from head to toe weighing 300 pounds or about 140 kg, while the height of the adult male can reach 60 cm. Females on average have a length of 78 inches or about 198 cm and weighs 200 pounds or about 91 kg. Tiger tiger dwarfs are thinner than other tiger subspecies. Sumatran tiger skin color is the darkest of all tigers, ranging from reddish yellow to dark orange. This subspecies also has more beards and mane than other subspecies, especially male tigers. Its small size makes it easy to explore the jungle. There is a membrane on the sidelines of his finger that makes them able to swim fast. This tiger is known to corner its prey to the water, especially if the game is slow to swim. The coat turns dark green when giving birth.

Sumatran tiger is found only on the island of Sumatra. These big cats can live anywhere, from lowland forests to mountain forests, and live in many unprotected places. Only about 400 live in nature reserves and national parks, and the rest are scattered in other areas cut down for agriculture, there are also about 250 more kept in zoos around the world. Sumatran tigers are experiencing the threat of habitat loss because of their distribution areas such as lowland forest blocks, peatlands and mountain rainforests threatened with forest clearing for agricultural land and commercial plantations, as well as encroachment by logging and road construction activities. As the habitat is narrowed and reduced, tigers are forced to enter areas closer to humans, and often they are killed and captured for straying into rural areas or by accidental encounters with humans.

Sumatran tiger food depends where it lives and how abundant its prey. As the main predators in the food chain, tigers preserve wild populations of prey under their control, so the balance between prey and vegetation they eat can be maintained. They have very keen sense of hearing and vision, which makes it a very efficient hunter. The Sumatran tiger is a solitary animal, and they hunt at night, staking their prey patiently before attacking from behind or sideways. They eat anything that can be caught, generally wild boar and deer, and sometimes poultry or fish. Orangutans can also be prey, they rarely spend time on the ground, and therefore rarely caught tigers. Sumatran tigers also love to eat durian.

In certain circumstances the Sumatran tiger also preys on various prey alternatives such as deer (Muntiacus muntjac), mouse deer (Tragulus sp), macaca nemestrina), porcupine (Hystrix brachyura), pangolin (Manis javanica), sun bear (Helarctos malayanus), and kuau king (Argusianus argus) [4]

Sumatran tigers are also able to swim and climb trees while hunting prey. The extent of the Sumatran tiger hunting ground is not well known, but it is estimated that 4-5 tigers of the Sumatran tiger require 100 kilometers of roaming in lowland areas with optimal number of hunted animals (not hunted by humans).

Sumatran tiger can breed anytime. The pregnancy period is about 103 days. Usually the female tiger gives birth to 2 or 3 tiger cubs at once, and at most 6 tails. The eyes of the new tiger child are open on the tenth day, although the tiger child in the zoo is recorded with open eyes. Tiger children only drink their mother's milk for the first 8 weeks. After that they can try solid foods, but they still suckle for 5 or 6 months. The cubs first leave the nest at the age of 2 weeks, and learn to hunt at the age of 6 months. They can hunt alone at the age of 18 months, and by the age of 2 years the tiger can stand alone. Sumatran tiger can live for 15 years in the wild, and 20 years in captivity.
