In Indonesia, the Sumatran tiger is being worked so hard not to become extinct! They are the pride of Indonesia, happy to see them healthy there!😊🙏

She’s magnificent.. what a beauty !!! Let’s keep these beautiful tigers 🐅 alive & well .. ❤️🙏🏽

[@simsgazytech2013]

Thank you for all people around the world for taking care Sumatran tigers. As Indonesian we failed keeping our 3 subspecies alive and only sumatran tiger is surviving. their relatives in their habitat in Sumatra are still facing threat from poachers. sometimes i feel they better live in cavity rather than live in wild.

[@CIA_Killed_JFK]

No people who kill tigers and cut down the forest for selfish reasons should be held in captivity. Burning down the forest to make palm oil plantations.

[@anyhendra3923]

Its dutch who made 2 other tigers extinct

[@konangputra4743]

Barongan killed many javan tigers by dutch. 😭

[@maryamal-haddad4904]

The colonizer (the Dutch) was responsible of the extinction of 2 other sub species.

Sumatra Tiger so smart 😅

[@iamkm3530]

It is nice to see a Sumatran tiger. Pretty, big and beautiful tiger. I hope Anala would go through any type of challenge. I am happy to see she is not captivated in a small cruel prison. She is hearing her keeper- this means she was raised with love and care. She is made to confront challenges and the nature. 💗💗💗💗😍😍

[@pantheratigris3765]

Megan : having fun? Anala(tiger) : sorry,i can't hear you come here.

[@LordStaind]

Yup Anala(tiger) would never have to starve for a few months once Megan enters her enclosure and throws herself at Anala.

[@mdshadmanwasifkhan4482]

Tigers have better hearing than her lmao. Its just that she speaks Bahasa Indonesian and can't understand English lol 😂😂.

[@oldschool9449]

From my point of view Sumatran Tiger isn't small like everyone think. Still Looks scary n beautiful

[@alezot6141]

Well, the Sumatran tiger is still a 300+ lbs cat, in the case of males. It's a BIG kitty. For comparison, though - male Siberian tigers can reach more than DOUBLE that weight!

[@shannondominguez9725]

They may not look small but they are still the smallest out of all the tiger species and they also are more bearded and maned compared to the others having the narrowest stripes which help them blend into their native environment making a great adaptation. As with all tigers though no matter which they are their stripes are unique to them no 2 patterns are the same and they run skin deep. These patterns are often the easiest way to tell one individual from another much the same as our finger prints.

[@betatester2980]

So cute, the smallest panthera tigris subspecies.

[@prayasdash]

Well, I have never saw any species of Tiger except for Bengal Tigers. I have read much about other Tigers and Sumatran Tiger was one of the greatest. They are critically endangered cat. These beautiful beasts are now in danger. It feels quite happy to see them enjoying. Hope they don't get extinct.

[@aves4081]

So glad to see zoos are trying to make animals entertained. There are countless of research papers that indicate the importance of such things in zoo animals.

[@Powerranger-le4up]

It’s called enrichment. I’ve seen videos of big cats playing in boxes and rubbing their faces in perfumes and different smells.

[@alezot6141]

All animals in human care benefit from environmental enrichment. Sadly, plenty of pet owners don't realize it

[@playgt326]

Save them, now!!!

[@jaguarthestrongestbigcatti2881]

No they should be extict because they are cowards, they run from fights. That sloth beat tiger and the tiger ran to the water. Such weak animals those useless muscles should have been given to the king of the jungle. Male lion never runs from any meat eating animal. Even kills hyena and a hyena is bigger than sloth bear but male lions kills it. But tiger ran away from sloth bear. Thats why people hate tigers it's because they always run from fights. I hate tigers so much i wish they could be extinct

Show me a video where male lion runs from any carnivore. Never!!!! Male lion never runs from any meat eating animal. It would run from lot of hyenas because they are many but theres a video where hyenas run away from male lion.

Describing a tiger as "sassy" shows the caretaker does not appreciate or respect the tiger.

[@thewr0ngchild]

Such beautiful animals. Without the help of zoos, it's highly likely the only way we could see animals like the Sumatran Tiger would be in photos and videos of the past. The species would likely be gone. Our animal friends are battling every kind of existential threat we can imagine, from poaching to human induced climate change. The human being has a lot to answer for when it comes to mass extinctions. Over the past 500 years or so we have successfully wiped out so many species of both flora and fauna. Without many animals, fish and insects, our own existence would be on the block. I dread the day we are capable of long distance space travel, because yes, I do think there is life on other planets, even if it's not super intelligent aliens, there will be life out there. When the human being arrives, that life will be snuffed out in a cloud of fumes, pollution and deliberate destruction. It's like we just can't help ourselves.
