India counted its wild tigers in 2022 and found about 3,682 of them. That is up from 2,967 a few years earlier. Most of the world's wild tigers now live in India.
To count them, forest workers walked very long distances and set up hundreds of thousands of special cameras that snap a photo when an animal walks by. Every tiger has its own stripe pattern, like a fingerprint, so scientists can tell them apart in the pictures.
The number is a careful estimate, not an exact count, because not every tiger walks past a camera. It is still one of the biggest and most careful animal counts ever done.
