India, home to most of the world's wild tigers, on Tuesday reported a 30 percent jump in numbers over four years in a rare piece of good news for conservationists.

A census found 2,226 tigers in India last year compared with 1,706 in 2010, officials in New Delhi announced.

Some 9,700 hidden cameras were used in known tiger habitats including in the northeast state of Assam and western Rajasthan to take photographs of the animals for the count.

Yeah, but can we find one that will actually go to a football game?

if I'm not mistaken, each Tiger has it's own unique set of stripes...so they were probably able to sight tag them.

Great news

Can they tell individual tigers by their stripe?

This is great news for all the old Chinese men who eat tigers for virility

That's great news. Maybe they will start killing the rapist that seem to be a huge problem there.
