Did you know that the largest island in Indonesia is the Sumatra? According to McGill School of Computer Science , “Sumatra (also spelled Sumatera) is the sixth largest island of the world (approximately 470,000 km²) and is the largest island entirely in Indonesia…” It’s an island with a wide variety of animals. Sumatra is a beautiful place filled with fauna and flora. The world’s biggest flower lives on this special island. The climate in this island is warm and humid. The site Trip Advisor states “Since Sumatra is right next to the equator, Sumatra’s climate is very tropical. … However, in general, throughout the year, the temperature during the day remains between 70 and 86 degrees. .”

One very, very special animal that is on the brink of extinction roams this island. The Sunda Tiger (also known as the Sumatran Tiger) is a very rare and exotic tiger. According to World Wildlife Fund ,”Sunda tigers are distinguished by heavy black stripes on their orange coats. They are the smallest subspecies of tigers along with the darkest subspecies. The Sunda Tigers appear to be more bearded and maned (WildCats Conservation Alliance). Because they are the smallest of tigers, male tigers can reach somewhere between 120kg and 8ft from head to tail; however, females average 91kg and 7ft in length (WildCats Conservation Alliance ).
