Sumatran Tiger! - a photo on Flickriver

Sumatran Tiger!

            Mother Binjai, this magnificent Sumatran Tigress is  the mother of three boisterous, playful, delightful and utterly adorable cubs born October 28 2006.
The 3 Sumatran Tiger cubs, are called  “Isha” (one who protects) for the female and 'Nakal' (naughty or cheeky) for one of the males, and the other male,  'Satu' (meaning number one).

They are growing fast, and soon will be the same size as their mother!
Melbourne Zoo have a wonderful enclosure for the tigers - it is styled very much as Sumatran rainforest, with lots of trees, and even a pond to swim and play in.
Melb Zoo staff are taking part in a proper preservation program for Sumatran wildlife - not just joining an international captive breeding program (although they do, and that is vital given the parlous state of Sumatran tigers in the wild) - they actively buy back land in Sumatra with the intent to rehabilitate the land as a wildlife preserve, to give animals such as the tiger and the Sumatran Orang-utan a chance to flourish again.
Melbourne Zoo, Parkville, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
