2012 $1 Animals of The Zoo Sumatran Tiger Coloured Uncirculated Coin

Melbourne Zoo is currently home to five Sumatran tigers, which are native to the Indonesian island of Sumatra. The critically endangered Sumatran tiger is the perfect predator, as they can camouflage effectively using their narrow stripes against dappled sunlight and their size assists them in navigating the dense, tropical forests in which they hunt. Of the estimated three hundred adult tigers still alive, most can be found in five national parks and two game reserves on the island of Sumatra.
