The highest known living tigers have been discovered high up in the Himalayas by the BBC's Natural History Unit.
Trail cams set up some 4,000 metres above sea level in the cold, remote Himalayan hills managed to capture footage of a breeding pair of tigers making them the highest known tigers in the world.
Television footage shot by the BBC's Natural History Unit has provided the first evidence that tigers can live and breed at extremely high altitudes. The team filmed the animals, normally found in jungle habitats, more than 4,000 metres high in the Himalayas.
