Tiger Population Rises for First Time in 100 Years

Wildlife conservationists are aware of more tigers than they were in 2010, marking the first rise in the tiger population count in nearly 100 years.

There are about 3,890 tigers in the wild according to the most recent count of the feline released Sunday. At the time of the last world count of tigers in 2010, there were an estimated 3,200 tigers in the wild.

The World Wildlife Fund attributes the growth in the tiger count to a rise in population in India, Nepal, Russia, and Bhutan.
