What is the Sumatran Tiger?

The Sumatran tiger is a specie which is exclusive to the Indonesian island of Sumatra. It has been classified as "critically endangered' since 2008, with its current population set to only be around 400.

The map below shows their distribution within the island of Sumatra. Without protection, the Sumatran tiger may become extinct, just like its relatives, the Balinese and Javan tigers.
