Sumatran tigers are the smallest and darkest species of tiger.
They only live 10-12 years in the wild. They are the most critically endangered species other than the South China tiger. South China tigers are down to 40-50 animals and biologically may be considered extinct. Sumatran tigers are losing their habitat in the wild. Learning about the tigers' behavior at Ocean Journey and other zoos is the best way to learn about the animals and create an awareness of them.
