how many black tigers are there left
This tiger subspecies is found only on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Fewer than 400 Sumatran tigers exist today. In 1978, experts estimated the population of Sumatran tigers at 1,000. Sumatran tigers are the smallest surviving tiger subspecies and are distinguished by heavy black stripes on their orange coats. The last of Indonesiaâs tigersâas few as 400 todayâare holding on for survival in the remaining patches of forests on the island of Sumatra.
