Tiger Cubs

Animal Kingdom

Even though the Sumatran is the smallest tiger subspecies, it’s still a pretty big cat. Imagine a tiger the same length as a school cafeteria table! Its orange coat is darker than other subspecies, as it is native to dark jungle habitat on the island of Sumatra; the sides of the face have longer fur, perhaps as protection against jungle plants. The Safari Park has a small group of Sumatran tigers, but in the wild there are less than 400 remaining. sdzsafaripark.org/

I took this on of my trips to Australia at Steve Irwin's Australia Zoo. They were introducing a new cub to one of the very tolerant males. The cub was a sassy little guy. The big male eventually put him in his place. Very well kept beautiful zoo.
