What makes a Sumatran tiger different? | Candid Animal Cam

Today on Candid Animal Cam we are meeting the smallest tiger subspecies on Earth. The magnificent but critically endangered Sumatran tiger. The Sumatran tiger is native to the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Compared to other subspecies of tiger, the Sumatran tiger has a darker orange color in its fur and stripes that are closer together. This color pattern allows them to blend into their habitat.
