In Sumatra tigers are in many ways different from others. They are also in danger. They are the smallest in the world. They are 60cm tall and 250 cm long. There are less than 400 left in the wild. They live in forests, by rivers and swamps.
We must act right now to save them. Indonesia is where Bali, Java and Sumatra are. On Bali and Java, the tigers have gone. Sumatra is the only island in Indonesia that still has these tigers.

Most tigers are a lot bigger than the Sumatrans, so this strain of tiger is decidedly unusual.

Its wonderful of you to raise awareness of the tiger situation! I have to say that Tigers are my fave. They are incredibly beautiful creatures, graceful yet tough. Your blog will help spread the word about the Sumatrans, and I wish you lots of luck with it.
hugs,
