to discover an amazing big cat,

the Sumatran tiger.

Come on! Let's look closer with me, Mira.

Sumatran tigers are only found

in the wild in one place,

the island of Sumatra in a country called Indonesia.

In Indonesian, the word for tiger is "harimau."

Can you say "harimau"?

We know tigers have stripes,

but did you know that it's not just their fur?

Let's look closer.

Underneath, their skin is striped, too.

Sumatran tigers have more stripes than any other tigers.

And the stripes aren't just beautiful.

They look like shadows to help tigers hide in the forest

and the tall grass.

But when these big cats roll over, their tummies,

chests, and inner legs are white.

They may act like giant housecats,

but tigers are one of the world's

most powerful predators.

Sumatran tigers' eyesight is as good

as humans' during the day.

But at night their eyesight is way better than ours.

Their ears are super sensitive, too,

and each ear can turn separately from the other.

Can you try turning your ears?

It's okay. We can't do that trick like tigers.

Sumatran tigers have long, strong back legs

to help them leap.

They're great jumpers.

And unlike housecats,

Sumatran tigers are strong swimmers.

They make some interesting sounds, too.

This one is called a chuff.

( chuffing )

It's a friendly greeting

to other tigers.

( chuffing )

Can you make a chuff?

That was great!

There's also their famous...

( roars )

Amazing!

and you can be an animal expert one day, too.

Until next time, when we look closer
