(Credit: BBC) BBC camera crews have discovered a rare population of tigers living high in the Himalayas.
Video footage captured by dozens of cameras with motion sensors, which had been left in the mountains of Bhutan, showed the animals - usually found in jungle habitats - at altitudes above 13,000 feet.
"These are the highest living tigers in the world," said BBC cameraman Gordon Buchanan.
The footage was obtained by the BBC's Natural History Unit for the series, "Lost Land of the Tiger," which debuts on British television this week.
