WWF’s
camera traps in Lampung, Sumatra, caught a very rare moment as two endangered
Sumatran tigers, a male and female, give signals to each other that they are
ready to mate. The footage, captured in mid-December 2014, shows a male Sumatran
tiger (the larger one) ascertaining the status of, or “checking out,” a female
Sumatran tiger. Their shy behavior suggests they have just met.
