Why is the Sumatran tiger endangered?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is a lot of deforestation going on around Sumatra (their habitat) this depletes the area for the tigers, people are also poaching them (Illegal hunting) for their various body parts like their claws teeth fur organs and other body parts on the black market, people are also hunting their prey, the tapir and other mammals like the wild pig so the Sumatran tiger has nothing to eat. When the tiger has no food to eat it has to hunt men so the villagers are forced to kill the tiger that is threatining them. Soon the area of Oceana will be flooded because of global warming, leaving the tigers with no space.

How long is the gestation period for Sumatran tigers?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Any elephant's gestation period is always 22 months.

2.5 years, give or take 3 years depending on whether the elephant giving birth is male or female.

Female elephants social life revolves around breeding and raising of calves. A female will usually be sexually mature at around the age of thirteen.

After a gestation period of twenty-two-month, the mother gives birth to a calf that weighs about 115 kg and stands over 75 cm tall

The new born is usually the center of attention for the whole herd. The baby is born nearly blind and at first relies almost completely on its trunk to discover the world around it. The whole herd helps defend and raise the young one.
