Have You Ever Seen A Sumatran Tiger?
Sumatran Tiger
Most visitors to Indonesia hope to see the Sumatran tiger. However, this beautiful animal rarely shows itself. Unfortunately, human development has already pushed two other tiger species in Indonesia into extinction. The Javan tiger was declared extinct in 1994 and the Balinese tiger was last seen several decades before that. Fewer than five hundred Sumatran tigers are left in the wild, and the number is dropping steadily. If habitat destruction and poaching across Asia are not stopped, wild tigers have just a few years to survive. Tiger bones and body parts are sold on the black market for use in traditional Chinese medicines. This demand alone is putting tremendous pressure on these beautiful animals. Meanwhile, the forests where they live are being destroyed for timber, mining, and farming. Each animal needs up to twenty square miles to survive, and forests are a vanishing resource in many regions.

Wow! I love this picture!
I’ve seen one – at the zoo!
The tiger is a part of the wonders of Indonesia, and should be preserved at all costs. When traveling around the world many examples of these beautiful animals can be seen in zoos. One fine example of this splendid creature is kept at Fuengirola Zoo, Costa del Sol, Spain, where a successful breeding programme is in place.
If You get the opportunity to visit Spain, Fuengirola Zoo is well worth a visit
Some time ago, I needed to buy a house for my firm but I did not have enough money and couldn’t purchase something. Thank God my mother proposed to get the personal loans from creditors. Therefore, I acted that and was happy with my auto loan.
