* General Tiger Jumping: While specific data for Sumatran tigers is limited, tigers are known for their powerful legs and agility. On average, tigers can jump around 10-16 feet horizontally.
* Factors Influencing Jump Distance: Several factors can influence a tiger's jump distance, including:
* Age and Health: Young and healthy tigers will jump farther than older or less healthy ones.
* Terrain: A tiger can jump farther on flat ground compared to an uneven surface.
* Motivation: A tiger will jump farther when motivated by prey, danger, or play.
Therefore, it is safe to estimate that a Sumatran tiger could jump at least 10 feet horizontally, and potentially up to 16 feet or even farther under ideal conditions.
It's important to remember that these are just estimates, and individual tigers may vary in their jumping abilities.
