Sumatran Tiger
(Panthera tigris sumatrae)
Woodland Park Zoo - Seattle, WA
Sumatran tigers are a subspecies of tiger found on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. The Sumatran Tiger is the smallest of all surviving tiger subspecies. Its stripes are narrower than other subspecies of tigers' stripes, and it has a more bearded and maned appearance, especially the males. Its small size makes it easier to move through dense rain forests. It has webbing between its toes that, when spread, makes Sumatran tigers very fast swimmers. It has been known to drive hoofed prey into the water, especially if the prey animal is a slow swimmer.
