18-year-old man bitten to death by zoo tiger in Beijing

BEIJING, March 8 (Xinhua) -- An 18-year-old migrant farmer was mauled to
death by a Siberian tiger after mistakenly entering the grounds of a wild animal
zoo in Beijing after touring the Great Wall, zoo staff confirmed Sunday.

The man surnamed Guo, from Hebei Province, entered the Badaling Wild Animal
World in Yanqing County with two companions at around 4:20 p.m. Saturday after
climbing over three-meter-high fences without paying attention to the warning
boards saying there were wild animals inside, the zoo said.

Two companions of Guo escaped but Guo was caught by a Siberian tiger and
mauled to death on the scene.

The three were on their way back from a visit to a remote part of the Great
Wall in Yanqing and for a shortcut, mistakenly entered the zoo, it added.

A worker with the zoo said he was patrolling in the tigers area in a car
when he saw a grown Siberian tiger was biting a man in the throat and throwing
his head.

The driver then rode the car to the tiger, which left the man and ran away.
They forced the tigers in the zoo back into cages and alerted police.

The zoo said the tragedy was still being investigated by local forestry
authorities.

The Badaling Wild Animal World covers an area of 400 hectares and has about
10,000 wild animals.
