A woman was mauled to death by a tiger after leaving her car in a safari park.
The incident happened at Badaling Wildlife Park in Beijing, China. It's thought the woman left the car after a family row broke out, the Mirror reports.
The family were inside the Siberian tiger enclosure when a young woman stepped out of the car. One of the tigers quickly pounced on her and an older woman, believed to be the mother, got out in an attempt to rescue her. A second tiger then attacked the mother with staff at the zoo unable to stop the attack. The older woman was dragged away and killed within the enclosure.

The younger woman is seriously injured and is being treated at hospital. Local media reported that the car contained three adults and a child.
Visitors to the safari park are allowed to drive through the enclosures but are expressly forbidden from leaving their vehicles.
The park has since been closed pending an investigation.
