Nature is where we live is so
amazing, just imagine me living in Indonesia is so fertile, and abundant
natural resources, so if I throw the seeds on the ground several weeks later
was turned into a small plant shoots. No wonder so many people want to
take advantage of this nature, from the time before independence to the present
technological era tibu canggaih thousands and even hundreds of thousands of
people vying for the benefit of this nature. But sometimes this phrase is
wrong, because nature does not always give the advantages and coolness but also
disasters such as floods, forest fires and others.
Have we ever thought for a moment, how nature has been seriously ill? and we always drain what's in it? Palm, rubber,
plantation, mining, and its kind of slowly but surely changing the diverse
natural forests. We know that demand is not
likely to ever be fulfilled! Food, beverage, raw materials, wood, luxury,
lifestyle will always rise rapidly and must bear the nature of the result of
our needs, may be many alternatives to save nature is not only the forest but
also the sea. in this simple blog that I want to mention a little about
big cats are tigers. Why do so many tigers are hunted? possible
to take skin as jewelry (lifestyle), or to protect themselves or the village of
raging tiger (safety) would be nice if we know the animals before this one:
Sumatran tiger, or in Latin is called Panthera
tigris sumatrae hariamu is a sub species that still exist in Indonesia, we must
preserve it surely?. Including the endangered Sumatran tiger who is also
the only sub-spisies tigers that still belongs to Indonesia after the two
brothers Bali tiger (Panthera tigris balica) and the Java tiger (Panthera
tigris sondaica) are considered extinct.
Animals of the phylum Chordata can only be found on the island of
Sumatra, Indonesia.Its population is estimated to live in the wild tail
400-500. Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae) is increasingly rare
and classified as an endangered species.
Origin
Tigers are believed to be descendants of the ancient predators known as Miacids.Miacids
alive at the end of the Cretaceous period about 70-65 million years ago during
the reign of dinosaurs in West Asia (Andrew Kitchener, "The Natural History
of Wild Cats"). Tigers evolved in eastern Asia in China and Siberia
before berpecah two, one moving toward the woods of Central Asia in the west
and southwest of the Caspian tiger. Some are moving from Central Asia to
the western mountainous region, and beyond to the islands of southeast Asia and
Indonesia, partly to keep moving to the west as far as India (Hemmer, 1987).
The Sumatran tiger is believed alienated when sea levels rose at 6,000 to
12,000 years ago. Cutting-edge genetic testing has revealed genetic
markers unique, indicating that this subspecies has distinct characteristics
with other tigers subspisies and very likely evolve into separate species, if
managed sustainably.
Please note, there are nine subspecies of tiger
that three of them have been declared extinct. Ninth subspisies
tiger are:
Indochinese tiger (Panthera tigris corbetti)
found in Malaysia, Cambodia, China, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. Bengal
tiger (Panthera tigris tigris) Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, and Nepal. South
China tiger (Panthera tigris amoyensis) China. Siberian tiger
(Panthera tigris altaica), also known as the Amur, Ussuri, Northeast China
tiger, or Manchurian tiger. There are in China, North Korea, and Central
Asia in Russia. Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae) are found only
in Sumatra, Indonesia. Malayan tiger (Panthera tigris jacksoni) is located
in peninsular Malaysia. Caspian tiger (Panthera tigris virgata) have
become extinct around 1950. Caspian tiger is found in Afghanistan, Iran,
Mongolia, Turkey, and Russia. Java tiger (Panthera tigris sondaica) became
extinct around 1972. Javan tigers are on the island of Java, Indonesia. Bali
tiger (Panthera tigris balica) that became extinct around 1937. Tigers are on the island of Bali Bali, Indonesia. Characteristics
and Habitat
Sumatran tigers are the smallest tiger subspecies. Sumatran tiger has the darkest color among all other tiger subspecies,
the black pattern width and the distance is sometimes attached tightly.
Sumatran tiger males have an average length of 92 inches from head to tail,
weighing 300 pounds. Females have an average length of 78 inches
and weighs 200 pounds.Sumatran tiger stripes are thinner than other tiger
subspecies. This subspecies also had more beard and mane than other subspecies,
especially the male tiger.
Its small size makes it easier to move through the jungle. There is a
membrane in between the fingers that make them able to swim fast. The
tiger is known to drive hoofed prey into the water, especially if the prey animal
is a slow swimmer. Fur changed color to dark green when giving birth.
Sumatran tigers are found only on Sumatra island. Rare cat is able to live
anywhere, from lowland forests to mountain forests, and lived in many places
are not protected.
Sumatran tiger food depends where he lives and how plentiful prey. Sumatran
tigers are solitary animals that hunt at night. This cat stalking its prey
patiently before attacking from behind or the side. They eat anything that
can be captured, generally boar and deer, and sometimes poultry, fish, and
orangutans. According to the Sumatran tigers are also locals like to eat
durian.
Sumatran tigers are also able to swim and climb trees when hunting prey. Sumatran
tiger poaching of forest area is not precisely known, but it is estimated that
4-5 require adult Sumatran tigers roaming area 100 square kilometers.
Conservation
Until now the only remaining estimated 400-500 Sumatran tigers (Panthera tigris
sumatrae) which still survive in the wild. In addition there is at least 250
Sumatran tiger tails that are kept in zoos worldwide.
Habitat destruction is the greatest threat to the Sumatran tiger population
today.Logging continues even in national parks should be protected. Recorded
66 tigers were killed between 1998 and 2000.
In an effort to rescue tigers from extinction, Taman Safari Indonesia is
appointed by the 20 zoos in the world as the Sumatran Tiger Breeding Center,
studbook keeper and sperm storage (Genome Rescue Bank) for Sumatran tigers.
