Description
Name: Malayan tiger (Panthera tigris jacksoni)
Location: southern and central parts of the Malay Peninsula
Size: average length of a male is 8 ft 6 in (259 cm), and of a female 7 ft 10 in (239 cm)
weight: 104 to 284.7 lb (47 to 129.1 kg).
Diet: Malayan tigers prey on sambar deer, barking deer, wild boar, bearded pigs and serow. Tigers in Taman Negara also prey on sun bear and elephant calves. Whether their principal prey includes adult gaur and tapir is unknown. Occasionally, livestock is also taken.
Conservation status: Endangered
Interesting facts: Globally, the tiger has lost 93% of its habitat in the last 100 years. tiger predation reduces the numbers of wild boar which can become a serious pest in plantations and other croplands. Studies indicate that in areas where large predators (tigers and leopards) are extinct, wild pigs are over 10 times more numerous than in areas where tigers are still present.
