Did you know?

? The Sumatran tiger is a carnivorous animal whose diet includes various species of deer and wild pigs. Sumatran tigers prefer to dwell in areas of dense vegetation in the center of the forest to avoid areas occupied to humans. Like all tigers, Sumatran tigers are solitary and prefer to be alone. Sumatran tigers leave the den at two months old to learn how to hunt until they are completely independent.
