Facing extinction in a decade

There are as few as 300 Sumatran tigers in the wild. In the 1970s there were 1,000

Found in the wild only on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, they are classed as ‘critically endangered’

If trends continue, they may be extinct within a decade

In the wild, Sumatran tigers meet to mate only once and then leave each other. The average litter size is two to three cubs

The smallest breed of tiger, adults are often no longer than 8ft, 2ft smaller than Bengal tigers

They have the narrowest black stripes of any tiger, helping them blend into the thick jungle vegetation
