A terrible thing happened at a wildlife park in Beijing, China. While a family visited the park and stopped near the Siberian tiger enclosure, the husband and wife had an argument. The wife got out of the car and all of the sudden, a tiger appeared and dragged her away. Her husband rushed after her, followed by her mother who was also in the car.

The woman survived but she had serious injuries. Sadly, her mother did not survive.

In 2014, a similar incident happened when a tiger killed a person who worked at the park.
