The Javan tiger preyed on Javan rusa (Rusa timorensis), banteng (Bos javanicus), and wild boar (Sus scrofa); and less often on waterfowl and reptiles. Nothing is known about its gestation period or life span in the wild or captivity. Up to World War II, some Javan tigers were kept in a few Indonesian zoos that were closed during the war. After ...
Meru Betiri National Park is known as the last habitat of the Javan tiger (Panthera tigris sondaica) which is now considered extinct, with the last sighting having been recorded in 1976. [6] Due to research in 1997, tiger paw prints at a size of 26–28 centimetres (10–11 in) were found, so the Forestry Ministry agreed to monitor the ...
With camera traps and extensive DNA sweeps, Indonesian conservationists are hoping to find more evidence that the Javan tiger, a species declared extinct, actually still exists in the wild, an ...
The Sumatran tiger is a population of Panthera tigris sondaica on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. [1] [2] It is the only surviving tiger population in the Sunda Islands, where the Bali and Javan tigers are extinct. [3]
The wildlife trade has had a detrimental effect on Indonesia's fauna, including rhinoceroses, orangutans, tigers, elephants, and certain species of amphibians. [ 30 ] Up to 95% of animals sold in markets are taken directly from the wild, rather than from captive breeding stock; and more than 20% of the animals died in transportation. [ 31 ]
Habitat loss is one of the biggest threats to wild tiger populations. Using satellite images, researchers have created a new real-time mapping system for tiger habitats that could aid in ...
A viable tiger population of about 100 animals would require at least 5,000 km 2 (1,900 sq mi) of large tracts of contiguous habitat, with rich prey populations. Such habitat is not currently available, and cannot be provided in the short term. The proposed region is therefore unsuitable for the reintroduction, at least at the current stage. [28]
