BELFAST ZOO ENDANGERED ANIMAL


The Sumatran tiger is the smallest of the tiger subspecies existing today. It has narrower stripes than other tiger subspecies and has a hairier head. Its small size means it can chase species more easily in dense forest. It also is a very good swimmer, aided by webbing between the toes. It can catch fish, but more usually would chase a mammal such as a boar into a river catch it in the water. It mainly hunts deer and wild pigs but will also take smaller mammals and fish. And it is normally found in a variety of habitats mostly forested ones, on the island of Sumatran in Indonesia.
