One woman died and another was severely injured after a tiger attacked them when they exited their vehicle while at the Beijing Badaling Wildlife World this weekend, according to Yanqing County government.
The incident, caught in part on surveillance video, took place on Saturday at an outdoor, drive-through animal park in China, where visitors can drive around in their cars and view exotic animals as if on a safari. The tragedy occurred when one woman exited her vehicle while in the Siberian tiger enclosure part of the animal park.
Surveillance footage shows a woman exiting the passenger side of the vehicle, walking over to the driver's side, and then standing outside of the vehicle while she seems to speak with someone inside the car. Suddenly a tiger pounces on her, dragging the woman away from the vehicle and off camera.
Two more people then jump out of the car, running after the woman and tiger, disappearing off camera.
The woman who died was a 57-year-old mother who was trying to save her daughter from the tiger, according to the South China Morning Post. The daughter, in her 30s, who is reportedly the one seen being dragged away by the tiger in the surveillance video, was severely injured, the paper reported.

There’s no conspiracy in that.
It’s KIDS’ shows.
We have a LOT of real issues, that ain’t even close to one of them.
It’s wrong to kill a noble beast because of human stupidity.
What is with Chinese drivers and sensible rules? They just don’t seem to go together.
I'm fairly certain I could beat up a kangaroo. I mean, it'd have to have boxing gloves and shoes, because of the claws, but if you keep it from squaring up and setting it's tail by moving laterally and pepper it with head shots , it'd go down.
I am absolute certain that a goose would not fare so well if it came into my home and attacked us.
I agree with the "dumb ass people." No open cars near tigers (or lions for me). Famous Indian man-eating tiger hunter Jim Corbett never got near a tiger without his .500 double rifle.
Funny on that one
So they named the baby Sum Ting Wong..
It was a chinese fire drill.
....taste like chicken.
Watch how fast that thing decides it is going to get even. The guy could have put his window up, and tried to, but it is clear he was so panicked he couldn't keep his finger on the window button...and I can't say I blame him.
Rule #1: Never poke a leopard in the ass with a stick, even if you think you are perfectly safe.
They disrespected the Bing.
Oh look! Kittttyyyyy!
Heh, heh!
;^)
Great video. You can hear him screaming. Of all the great cats, leopards have killed (and eaten) more people than any other including lions and tigers.
lol! fuggedaboutit
