India is home to the largest wild tiger population in the world, the latest tiger census (2014) suggests that there are over 2,200 Indian tigers living in 49 tiger reserves. They live in a wide range of habitats including the high-altitude, cold, coniferous Himalayan forests, the steaming mangroves of the Bangladesh Sunderbans, the swampy reedlands, the scorched hills of the Indian peninsula, the lush wet forests of Northern India and the arid forests of Rajasthan.
