Beijing: In a horrifying incident, a woman was mauled to death by a tiger at a Chinese safari park.

The nerve-racking video shows a middle-aged woman flouting the warnings by getting out of the car at the Badaling Wildlife World, near the Great Wall of China.

The tragic incident took place on Saturday when a young woman got out of a car during a family row.

A tiger quickly pounced on her.

An older woman, believed to be her mum, and a man went to her rescue. However, a second tiger attacked the older woman and dragged her to her death.
