Students participation:

Last week I visited Ragunan Zoo. I saw a tiger there. For my friends who haven't seen a tiger before, I
will try to describe it here.
The tiger are basically a big cat, and the largest of the big cats. It is most famous for its unique orange
coloring and black and white stripes. Their distinctive stripes provide camouflage for tigers while hunting. Tigers
have large front paws with long sharp claws that are used to bring down prey. They are carnivores and will eat
most any animal it can catch. This includes some larger mammals such as water buffalo, deer, and wild boar.
There are many kinds of tiger. In Indonesia itself, there are three different species of tiger, namely
Sumatran Tiger, Javan Tiger, and Balinese Tiger. Sadly Javan Tiger and Balinese Tiger are now facing the
extinction while the population of Sumatran Tiger is decreasing day by day.

having large front paws and long sharp claws that are used to bring down the prey.
