Happy International Tiger Day! We are celebrating with this stunning photo of a Critically Endangered Sumatran tiger taken just a few days ago! 
Our monitoring team in Aceh, Indonesia used camouflage techniques to blend in with the environment so that they could capture this photograph. 
Most tiger conservationists only see tigers on camera trap footage so this was a very special moment for our rangers.

Fauna & Flora International’s (FFI) monitoring team in Aceh, Indonesia have proven themselves to be just as brave and stealthy as the tigers they are working to conserve, 
capturing a photograph of a Sumatran tiger just 30 metres away.

Using information provided by local people on where best to see a tiger, community ranger Tenuku Boyhaqi used leaves to camouflage himself and only had to wait for 45 minutes 
before a tiger appeared and he took the photo. The tiger was male, approximately five years old and appeared to be tracking a sambar deer which had walked past just minutes earlier.

This is a curious wild sumatran tiger who like to follow wildlife veterinarian and her team (Tiger Protection and Conservation Unit) wherever they go.
he's not stalking them, he just wants to know what's going on around him. later the team named him Aliman which means a good boy.

based from his appearance, probably he is just a young tigers seeking for his own territory. he is cute, isn't he?
