The water drenches the tiger as it dives for its food. JAKARTA, INDONESIA: THIS TIGER looked like it was having the time of its life when it was caught splashing about during dinner time. In one photograph, the eight-foot-tall Sumatran tiger was captured stretching its paw high into the air as it splashed about in the water getting drenched in the process. In another, the tiger stood on its hind legs and looked as if it was performing a dance. Photographer, Toni Panjaitan (51) from Jakarta, Indonesia, was at Ragunan Zoo when he came across this magnificent sight. Just 30-yards away, the 120-kilogram Sumatran tiger began to splash around in the water much to the delight of onlookers. Sumatran tigers are listed as being critically endangered and population numbers continue to decrease. The species is native to the Indonesian island of Sumatra and it is the smallest tiger species. This is likely due to its relative isolation on the island. Many remaining Sumatran tigers now live in protected areas offering a safe habitat to the remaining species population. Captive-breeding programmes have also been introduced. / Toni Panjaitan
