As promised, next one - Tuan the Sumatran tiger, still looking sweet

Hi once more,

not many comments on this one - it is pretty similar to the one I posted
before. I probably should have discarded one of them but I found it too
tough to pick, so you get them both :-)

See ya -

Ralf

Sumatran Tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae) is found only on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. The wild population is estimated at between 400 and 500 animals, occurring predominantly in the island's national parks. Recent genetic testing has revealed the presence of unique genetic markers, indicating that it may develop into a separate species, if it is not made extinct. This has led to suggestions that the Sumatran Tiger should have greater priority for conservation than any other subspecies. Habitat destruction is the main threat to the existing tiger population (logging continues even in the supposedly protected national parks), but 66 tigers were recorded as being shot and killed between 1998 and 2000???nearly 20% of the total population.
