Endangered Sumatran tigress moves slowly out from under wind moved tree limbs. Even knowing where she is, and how the trees are moving around her, it’s easy to see how she can remain hidden.
Sumatran tigress looks over her shoulder after taking a good long drink.
I like how she is loking from under the leaf.

Part of my line promoting awareness and raising funds for endangered species globally. This is also available as cards and prints. All proceeds (100%) are going to the Wildlife Conservation Society for endangered species protection. Because without these animals I would never be able to bring their beauty to you, I am going to pledge to donate 100% of all of my sales proceeds from cards and prints of the imagery in this series here on Redbubble to Wildlife Conservation Society

I like the intense look on her face.
A Sumatran Tigress, imported to the zoo for the endangered animals breeding program. I really like this photo, but then it’s easy to take nice photos of beautiful subjects.

No one knows exactly why tigers are striped, but scientists think that the stripes act as camouflage, and help tigers hide from their prey while they hunt. Tiger stripes are like human fingerprints; no two tigers have the same pattern of stripes. Most tigers have an orange coat with dark brown or black stripes accented with white. Tigers that live in cold climates (Siberian tigers) have thicker fur than tigers that live in warm climates. A tiger’s tail is 3 to 4 feet long, about half as long as its body. Tigers use their tails for balance when they run through fast turns. They also use their tails to communicate with other tigers. A tiger’s paw prints are called pug marks. Tigers have round pupils and yellow irises (except for the blue eyes of white tigers). Due to a retinal adaptation that reflects light back to the retina, the night vision of tigers is six times better than that of humans. A tiger’s forefeet have five toes and the hind feet have four toes. All toes have claws. The claws are 80 to 100 mm in length. Like domestic cats, tiger claws are retractable. Tiger scratches on trees serve as territorial markers. Adult tigers have 30 large teeth! The length of the canine teeth can be between 2.5 to 3 inches (74.5 to 90 mm.). Siberian tigers are the heaviest subspecies at 500 or more pounds (225 kg), with males heavier than females. The lightest subspecies is the Sumatran; males weigh about 250 pounds (110 kg) and females around 200 pounds (90 kg). Depending on the subspecies, the head-body length of a tiger is about 41/2 to 9 feet (1.4-2.8 m). The length of the tail is 3 to 4 feet (90-120 cm). The height at shoulder: 95-110 cm (depending on the subspecies). All wild tigers live in Asia. They don’t like open grasslands. Most kinds of tigers live where it is warm but Amur (Siberian) tigers live where it gets very cold. The tiger is found in a variety of habitats: from the tropical evergreen and deciduous forests of southern Asia to the coniferous, scrub oak, and birch woodlands of Siberia. It also thrives in the mangrove swamps, dry thorn forests, and tall grass jungles. Tigers need vegetation cover, a water source, and good sources of prey. Tigers can run 35 miles/hour but only for a few seconds. They normally stalk their prey slowly, then pounce. Tigers are able to swim, climb, run, leap, crawl and walk.
