The Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae) is one of six tiger sub-species that still survive to date and is included in the classification of critically endangered animals,
Based on 2004 data, Sumatran tiger population in the wild only about 400 tail only. As the main predators in the food chain, tigers maintain a population of wild prey under their control, so the balance between prey and vegetation they eat can be maintained.
Sumatran tigers face two types of threats to survive: they lose their habitat due to high rates of deforestation and are threatened by illegal trade where parts of their bodies are traded at high prices on the black market for traditional medicines, jewelry, amulets and decorations. Sumatran tiger can only be found on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia.
