Trinil tiger (SciiFii)

The Trinil tiger (Panthera tigris trinilensis) is a subspecies of tiger that originally lived from about 1.2 million years ago, during the Early Pleistocene, in Trinil, Java, Indonesia, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced throughout modern day Java to help boost biodiversity. Despite being native to Java, the Trinil tiger is not closely related to either the Javan tiger or the Bali tiger. The Trinil tiger is an average-sized tiger subspecies, weighing slightly less than Bengal tigers and it usually weighs about 110–150 kilograms (240–330 lbs). Unusual among tigers, the Trinil tiger lacks the stripes on its shoulder or upper back. The Ngandong tiger is light orange in colour. The Trinil tiger primarily preys on Javan rusa (Rusa timorensis), banteng (Bos javanicus) and wild boar (Sus scrofa); and less often on waterfowl and reptiles. Trinil tigers mate at any time of the year but breeding is most common from the end of November to the first half of April. Males are ready to begin mating at 5 years old and females at 4 years old. Offspring is born 103 days after mating. Three to six young are born in a den. They are born blind and weigh between 780 and 1,600 grams (28 and 56 oz). They are suckled at least for the first 8 weeks. The mother teaches them to hunt when they are 6 months old. At the age of 18 to 24 months, the cubs separate from their mother. The conservation status of the Trinil tiger is Endangered due to habitat loss and poaching, however, thanks to the conservationists, the Trinil tiger is a protected species.
