STUNNING SUMATRAN TIGER CAUSES A SPLASH

BURSTING from the water, a beautiful but deadly Sumatran tiger jumps for food in an Indonesian zoo. Photographer Lessy Sebastian watched in awe as he witnessed the powerful feline pounce on a chicken held by a zoo keeper. The 51-year-old spent two hours at the tiger enclosure when he visited Ragunan Zoo in Jakarta, Indonesia. Lessy, of Jakarta, Indonesia, says: “It was pure luck that I arrived just in time to see the tigers being fed.
