Terrifying final moments of mother consumed by tiger while attempting to rescue daughter taken by the beast
A shocking incident unfolded during a safari trip, leading to the tragic death of a visitor who was dragged away by a tiger.
The video, captured at Badaling Wildlife World in Beijing, China, in 2016, depicts a woman exiting her vehicle while passing through the Siberian tiger enclosure with her family.
Warning: Distressing Footage:
Similar to other safari-style attractions, Badaling Wildlife World allows visitors to drive their own cars around the park, but prohibits exiting the vehicle in certain enclosures.
The woman in the footage, identified as Zhao, had signed an agreement prior to entering the park which stated she would not leave her vehicle.
However, Zhao later claimed she misunderstood the agreement, thinking it was merely a registration form for park entry, and alleged that the ticket taker did not clarify the document’s purpose.
As they drove through the park, Zhao reportedly began feeling carsick and decided to step out of the car. The video shows her getting out and moving to the other side of the vehicle where a car door was open.
Suddenly, a tiger appears and drags her away from the screen.
Zhao is seen attempting to move away before the tiger drags her off, but the animal is too swift.
A man is seen quickly exiting the car to pursue the tiger, along with a woman later identified as Zhao’s mother.
Tragically, Zhao’s mother was killed by another tiger while trying to rescue her daughter.

Following the tragedy, the Yanqing district government confirmed the occurrence of the incident at the park and noted that another individual, presumably Zhao, was receiving medical treatment for her injuries.
The video of the incident elicited varied reactions online, with many defending the park and asserting that the visitors had breached park rules.
Subsequently, Zhao initiated legal action against the park, arguing she had not been adequately informed about the park’s risks and that a nearby park official failed to intervene.
Nevertheless, authorities in the Yanqing District issued a report post-attack stating it was not considered an ‘industry security accident,’ which meant the park was not deemed liable.
The report concluded that the attack resulted from the involved parties not adhering to the park’s regulations.
