The BBC reported that a television crew spotted a population of tigers that live in the remote nation of Bhutan in the Himalayas. What was most interesting was the fact that the tigers were living at such a high altitude. One female tiger was found at an altitude of 4,100 meters.
The findings have raised hopes for many conservationists that are concerned about lost habitat for the animals. Knowing that they can survive in such a habitat has raised hopes that their numbers can be raised in the wild.
