	Distribution of the Sumatran tiger

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]

Sequences from complete mitochondrial genes of 34 tigers support the hypothesis that Sumatran tigers are diagnostically distinct from mainland subspecies.^[4] In 2017, the Cat Classification Task Force of the Cat Specialist Group revised felid taxonomy and recognizes the living and extinct tiger populations in Indonesia as P. t. sondaica.^[1]
