Young Playful Sumatran TigerThis playful young tiger stalking its siblings, hiding in the bamboo pouncing with rough and tumble joyful energy, learning all the skills that little tigers need to survive as Indonesia’s last tiger species.

A Limited Edition Print (25) fine art photograph by Elizabeth McNamee.

The Sumatran tiger subspecies was once found across several parts of the islands in Indonesia.  Today all remaining tigers are found only in Sumatra, the tigers in Java and Bali are extinct.  Sadly fewer than 400 Sumatran tigers are estimated to remain in the wild.  It is listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List due to poaching, habitat loss and human-wildlife conflict.

Sumatran tigers are the smallest surviving subspecies and distinguished by striking orange fur with stripes that are narrower than other species and have larger manes and slightly webbed feet which allow them to swim more efficiently. They generally hunt at dusk and can travel up to 20km in one night in search of food. They depend on camouflage to ambush their prey. The tiger’s roar can be heard up to 3km away and they can swim up to 6km and jump over 5 meters in length.

There remains a substantial market in Sumatra and the rest of Asia for tiger parts and products with no sign of decreasing. Accelerated deforestation and rainforest poaching mean that the Sumatran tiger could become extinct like the Javanese and Balinese tigers. Most tigers of Sumatra are killed for commercial gain. According to ‘TRAFFIC’ (the global wildlife trade monitoring network) poaching for trade is responsible for over 78% of estimated Sumatran tiger deaths – amounting to at least 40 animals per year.

The unique story surrounding each animal portrait comes with the print.
