The Sumatran Tiger is mainly endangered by the destruction of its habitat and poaching. There is only about 500-600 in the world.

The Sumatran tiger is endangered because the forests are getting cut down and their food is leaving so they can't eat. Also, people are hunting, they are selling their body parts, like bones. There are some in zoo's, but that's going to soon be the only place anyone will be able to see one. Now there is only estimated to be 400 left in the wild maybe 200 in zoo's.
