This hunting mammal’s scientific name is (Panthera Tigris Sumatrae) Because of the mild weather

they have fur. There height is 60 cm which allows them to get them through tight spaces.They have very good length which is 8 ft. Something I help them in the world is that they have small bodies which allows them to get away and run fast. They also very dark stripes on their bodies which allows them to blend in with the grass. With their slick bodies they have very low weight 80 kg to 150 kg.
