EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the intricately patterned skin of a Balinese Tiger, Panthera tigris balica, held in the esteemed collections of The Natural History Museum in London. The Balinese Tiger, also known as the Bali Tiger or the Javan-Balinese Tiger, is a critically endangered subspecies of the majestic tiger, Panthera tigris. Once native to the Indonesian islands of Bali and Java, this big cat is now believed to be extinct in the wild due to habitat loss and poaching. The Balinese Tiger's coat is characterized by its unique, smooth, and bright orange fur adorned with dark stripes that are narrower than those of other tiger subspecies. The skin in this photograph showcases the tiger's distinctive anatomy, with its large, rounded paws, prominent whisker pads, and the characteristic pattern of its ear tufts. As a placental mammal, the Balinese Tiger is part of the Felidae family, which includes other big cats such as lions, leopards, and jaguars. This felid is further classified under the Feloidea superfamily, Feliformia order, Pantherinae subfamily, and the Panthera genus. The Balinese Tiger's extinction is a significant loss to the rich biodiversity of our planet and serves as a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts to protect endangered species and their habitats. The smooth, black background of this photograph highlights the beauty and intricacy of the Balinese Tiger's fur, making it a captivating addition to any space that appreciates the natural world.
