A female skier was mauled by a snow leopard after getting too close to try to take a photo, with a chilling video capturing her being led away with blood pouring from her face.
The footage shows the victim lying prone in the snow wearing a purple ski suit after the animal mauled her on Friday evening in Fuyun County at the northern Chinese border with Mongolia.
She is then seen being taken away from the scene with blood pouring from her face.
Well, girls just want to have Fuyun. I wonder if her name was My Chow.

Too late to say ‘I told you so’. Nature is beautiful, but deadly.
Once again, people proving that common sense isn’t so common anymore.
It’s a different version of FAFO.
Well at least she wasn’t shot by Claudine Longet.
Did the headline writer think it was a Republican?
Chinese name puns were also big back in 1791.

Antiquity and Universality of the English Language
Vol. II No. IX; Sep 1791; p.515; by R (Henry Livingston’s pseudonym)
THE people of the United States are almost generally descended from Englishmen: he that proves therefore that the language of Englishmen (like the old fashioned Hebrew) was once that used by all the world, will add a considerable bolster to occidental vanity.
The venerable empire of China got its name from the following circumstance, if the memoirs of Fo-hung-fo are to be credited. Some thousand moons ago, one of its monarchs happened to be as great an epicure as any modern monarch need to be: he used to summon up his cook every morning after sipping his gin-feng beverage, and demand the bill of fare of the day. Among other viands, the cook once mentioned a chine of pork — it happened not to be the king’s favourite morsel, and in a voice of thunder he reiterated Chine-ha! — China-ha was echoed from every nook of the palace — from palace to the city — from the city to the provinces — and, finally ended in giving name to the greatest empire the sun ever illumined.
In the capital of this very country, a bevy of young girls took it in their heads to wear their conical bonnets uncommonly peaking - the reader at a blush sees whence came the name of Peking. Some authors, however, and they too of tolerable reputation, say, that one of the emperors of the dynasty of Chung-tchi, was so immoderately fond of pease, that he got the name of Pea-king, and gave it to the royal residence.

Dangerous Incaution? How about Gross Stupidity? Or at least, Ignorant Naiveté? The wide world of wild animals isn't a big petting zoo or Disney movie, you know.
We remember this because his name was so odd, RIP, Spider Sabich.
Don’t feed the wild animals.
It's temping but the people who understand already 'get it' and the folks who don't would be offended by a painful and sad truth.
How did she not know that apex predators are dangerous? But then, we have tourons all the time that want to pet the black bears in the national park.
Given the absolute dearth of nature, wildlife, and natural forested areas in most of China proper, the woman probably thought it was a large house cat.
I said that "50 years ago humans in the wild, in the woods, carried guns with them, and the wildlife feared and avoided them. Now the humans are unarmed, most likely. Will predators continue to fear them?"
The Disneyfication of the world gives us Vegan idiocy and oblivious “incaution.”
“It’s the Circle of Life.....”
Did she post on social media that she had information that would implicate Hillary Clinton?
