Sumatran Tiger plunging into the water

Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae) splashing into the water

Sumatran tiger concentrates on her prey as she plunges into the water. They have webbing between their toes, which makes them very fast swimmers. Habitat loss and poaching continue to devastate remaining populations of this unique tiger, with no solution in sight. The disgusting Chinese medicine trade is the main lure for poachers, and it is increasing in spite of modern pharmaceutical alternatives.
