Welche giftigen Tiere gibt es auf Bali?
Die einzigen von sich aus wirklich gefährlichen Tiere in Bali sind Schlangen. In Bali ist nämlich unter anderem die Königskobra zuhause.

What kind of animal is a Sumatran tiger?
The Sumatran tiger’s stripes are closer together and its fur is a darker orange than other subspecies, better allowing it to blend into its tropical rainforest habitat. Its distinctive beard and mane also help set it apart. Like all tigers, Sumatran tigers are carnivores.
What are the problems faced by Sumatran tigers?
Loss of prey animals because of deforestation is also having a negative effect on Sumatran tigers. Tiger poaching occurs even in protected areas. Tiger bones are used to make tiger bone wine, a drink in demand by a small number of wealthy Chinese who believe it will impart the characteristics of the tiger to the drinker.
What kinds of animals can you see in Sumatra?
What follows are just a few of the creatures that you might encounter. The Kerinci Seblat National Park holds the highest population of tigers on Sumatra, estimated to be between 165-190 individuals, and also has the highest occupancy rate, with over 83\% of the park showing signs of tigers.
How fast can a Sumatran tiger run?
They can run up to nearly 40 miles per hour, but only in short bursts, so they have to make the most of it. That’s why they’re ambush predators, slowly and silently stalking their prey until they’re ready to pounce. Habitat loss means Sumatran tigers are having to walk farther and farther in search of a meal—sometimes up to 18 miles.
