Woman Killed by Tiger After Exiting Her Vehicle at Beijing Animal Park

CCTV footage shows a woman being mauled and dragged away by a tiger.

— -- One woman died and another was severely injured after a tiger attacked them when they exited their vehicle while at the Beijing Badaling Wildlife World this weekend, according to Yanqing County government.

The incident, caught in part on surveillance video, took place on Saturday at an outdoor, drive-through animal park in China, where visitors can drive around in their cars and view exotic animals as if on a safari. The tragedy occurred when one woman exited her vehicle while in the Siberian tiger enclosure part of the animal park.

The woman who died was a 57-year-old mother who was trying to save her daughter from the tiger, according to the South China Morning Post. The daughter, in her 30s, who is reportedly the one seen being dragged away by the tiger in the surveillance video, was severely injured, the paper reported.

Badaling Wildlife World was immediately closed following the incident, and an investigation is underway, according to the Yanqing County government's official blog.

Siberian Tiger Mauls Woman After She Gets Out of Car; How Aggressive Are Big Cats? [WATCH]

A family got in trouble when an unexpected guest joined in their argument. A couple was reportedly fighting when a tiger attacked the woman.

Tiger Attacks a Woman

A Twitter   video went viral, featuring an unexpected encounter between humans and a fierce tiger. According to Crazy Clips in the caption, the woman exited the car during an argument with her husband in a safari park.

In the video, the car stops, and the woman immediately gets off the car. The driver - her husband - opens the door on his side.

They talk or probably argue while she stands outside the car until a huge Siberian tiger approaches the woman and attacks her. The big cat drags her out of the frame of the camera.

The husband and another woman ran out of the car to rescue her.

The post has garnered 2.6 million views, 2.5 retweets, and over 20,000 likes. Several netizens also reacted to the clip.

Steve Parker suggested   that the couple should have kept their argument in the car. Lord Flacko Slim said   it was "natural selection."

Another jokingly commented  that the moral of the story was for women to wait to get home before they yell at their husbands and not do it on the grounds of "the eye of the tiger" at lunchtime in the jungle.

What Really Happened in the Video?

The incident happened in 2016. According to The New York Times , the family was in a Beijing animal park, Badaling Wildlife World, in a section that allows people to drive their vehicles.

Her husband and the other woman - who was later identified as the woman's mother - jumped out in an attempt to rescue her. The woman who was first attacked was badly injured, but her mom, who tried to save her, was mauled to death.

The husband was uninjured, and so did their child, who remained inside the vehicle.

How Aggressive Are Tigers?

The outlet noted that the tiger that attacked the woman could be a Siberian tiger, which is the largest cat in the world, according to Jack of Science . Siberian tigers are considered more powerful and bigger than Bengal tigers.

They can weigh up to 660 pounds. Aside from being heavier and larger, Siberian tigers have long claws, which gives them an edge.

In general, although tigers are seen as a threat, they are elusive and would rather avoid humans. However, they tend to be aggressive and irritable when they are ill, injured, or can't hunt properly, according to Biology Dictionary .

Tigers are both fascinating and frightful beings. John Vaillant tells the story of Vladimir Markov, a hunter, and poacher in Far Eastern Russia, in his novel " The Tiger: A True Story of Vengeance and Survival ."

The gripping story detailed how a man-eating tiger was killing people in a remote village. The deadly predator was cunning, injured, and starving.

Vaillant also recounted how Markov wounded a tiger with a gunshot before snatching some of its prey.

The wounded tiger followed the hunter, searched his hut, and awaited his return home before killing and devouring him. The unusual instance shows the tiger waiting up to two days for the hunter before killing him, seemingly out of retaliation.

Dad’s chilling split decision in Bondi attack

THE daughter of a woman mauled to death by a protected tiger has demanded $305,500 compensation from a Beijing safari park.

Chinese national Ms Zhou was attacked by the animal while attempting to rescue her daughter Zhao, who had been dragged away by the hungry tiger moments before, The Sun reports.

The Badaling Wildlife World tragedy, which was captured on CCTV, happened after the pair got out of the safari vehicle they were travelling in following an argument.

According to reports in Chinese media, the tiger pounced on the daughter before dragging her off.

In a bid to rescue her daughter, Ms Zhou leapt from the vehicle and was attacked by a second tiger, mauling her to death.

Daughter Zhao sustained serious injuries in the attack and has apparently been left disabled.

Zhao’s mother is seen leaping from the car moments before she is mauled to death. She is now suing the wildlife park for a 1.55 million yuan payout ($AU305,500), and has called on the park to bear part responsibility for her mother’s death on July 23, 2016.

A previous official investigation into the incident ruled that there were no safety concerns at the park and cleared the business of any wrongdoing.

The payout petition apparently includes 1.25 million yuan ($AU246,500) to cover Ms Zhou’s funeral cost, life expenses for Ms Zhou’s dependants and consolation compensation for Ms Zhou’s family members.

It also included 310,000 yuan ($AU61,000) for Ms Zhao to cover her surgery fees and lost wages.

Siberian tigers are a protected species in China and are listed as endangered animals by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

The 6,000-acre wildlife park previously allowed people to drive themselves through the facility, or join a guided tour.

Since the tragedy, self-driving tours of the tiger enclosure have been banned, with “do not get out of the car” signs clearly installed at the entrance.

Fatal Tiger Mauling Shows What's Wrong With Animal Parks

A woman's death in China could have been prevented, and it highlights some of the problems with captive animal parks.

Surveillance video at a wildlife park in northern China shows the horrifying moment a woman is attacked by a captive tiger . The woman survived, but her mother was killed after she rushed to defend her daughter.

The woman's husband also came to his wife's rescue and was not hurt.

The deadly encounter took place Saturday at Badaling Wildlife World outside Beijing. Yet the incident could have been prevented and is a reminder of the danger—and questionable track record—of such captive animal experiences, says Luke Dollar, a conservation biologist who directs National Geographic's Big Cats Initiative .

"Lack of awareness and lack of respect for wild animals can sometimes be very expensive, and unfortunately it cost a woman her life," Dollar says.

John Goodrich, the senior program director for tigers for the conservation group Panthera , puts it thus: "If you step out of a car in a cage full of tigers, it's common sense what could happen."

According to local news reports, guests are allowed to drive their own vehicles through a section of Badaling Wildlife World that features captive Siberian tigers. But such attractions are not a good idea, Dollar and Goodrich warn.

For Hungry Minds

In fact, the park has had several other safety problems in the past. A security guard who stepped out of a vehicle was killed by a tiger there in 2014. In March, another employee was killed by an elephant . In 2009, a man was killed by a tiger after he scaled a fence and entered an enclosure.

"I hope they're not taking any actions against the tiger," Goodrich adds.

Attempts to reach Badaling Wildlife World have so far not been successful. The county government issued a statement saying they are investigating the incident, the park has been temporarily closed, and that "here we remind the tourists, walkers must comply with the relevant regulations, improve safety awareness, to avoid accidents."

Captive Tigers Can Be More Dangerous

Lions and tigers in captive situations "often don't have a healthy fear of people," Dollar says. They often associate humans with food or positive attention, especially if they are hand raised.

Some wildlife attractions even permit people to pet or hand-feed big cats, which can exacerbate unnatural behaviors, he adds.

In contrast, in the wild, big cats tend to avoid people, possibly seeing them as rival predators or even as threats, particularly in areas with a history of hunting. When a person on a safari vehicle exits a vehicle around them—which can still be dangerous—the big cats typically scatter, Dollar says. ( Read about the woman killed by a lion in South Africa .)

Animal-friendly laws are gaining traction across the U.S.

"But captive cats, which may have been around people their entire lives, may be curious when people get out of a vehicle, since that probably doesn't happen on a regular basis," Dollar says.

Local media have reported that the woman who first exited her car at the park Saturday may have been arguing with her husband, although a family friend later disputed that fact. If she was raising her voice, it could have attracted the tiger, Dollar says, since it could have piqued its curiosity, or even sounded like a distress call (predators often hone in on prey in distress).

( Read about the gorilla that attacked a boy in a U.S. zoo .)

Captive Parks Can Be Problematic

As the recent controversy over Thailand's tiger temple suggests , some captive wildlife attractions have been linked to supplying the black market for bones, skins, and other valuable contraband. And some facilities have been criticized for keeping animals in unsanitary, small, and unnatural conditions. Sometimes, lions and tigers are even kept together, causing them significant stress.

What's more, there's little evidence captive breeding on such a large scale is benefitting the species overall or in the wild, Dollar says. There are more than two times more tigers in captivity in the U.S. than there are throughout the entire world in the wild.

Although he's not familiar with Badaling Wildlife World in particular, Dollar says many captive animal attractions around the world are "exploitive and profiteering." The animals often "aren't being bred to restock wild populations," Dollar adds.

As of this writing we are unable to determine whether Badaling has ever released tigers into the wild. Goodrich says he is not aware of any reintroductions of tigers across China.

Still, "cats are amazingly resilient, and they do just fine if we can adequately manage and protect them," says Dollar.

Although the study has since been contested by some biologists , an April report estimated that there about 3,890 tigers left in the wild , up from 3,200 in 2010. Yet the April report estimated only seven wild tigers in China, noting that the country has yet to do a formal count. ( Read about the recent decline of leopards .)

Goodrich adds that China remains the world's biggest market for blackmarket tiger parts, which he calls "the driving force behind the decline of tigers." The country has done some work to protect its remaining wild tigers, but more could be done, he adds.

"I love the fact that people care about big cats, but I wish people could do what they can to help them without this exploitative component [of wildlife attractions]," Dollar says.

Mom Killed After Trying to Save Her Daughter From Horrific Tiger Attack in Safari Park

From Good Housekeeping

A mother has died after trying to save her daughter from a tiger attack at a drive-through animal park in Beijing, The New York Times reports . The two women, along with the daughter's husband and the couple's child, were visiting the Badaling Wildlife World park when the attack occurred.

According to the Times , a Beijing news source has reported that the younger woman left the car after an argument with her husband. In the below video, which was captured by a park surveillance camera, you can see her exit from the passenger door and walk around to the other side of the vehicle. Within seconds, a tiger attacks, and the woman's husband and mother run after her in an attempt to save her.

Although park workers were on the scene nearly immediately after the attack (which you can also see in the surveillance camera footage), they were not able to save the woman's mother. The younger woman was taken to the hospital with serious injuries, and her husband remained unharmed, the Times reports. The couple's child, who stayed in the vehicle during the time of the attack, was also unharmed.

Badaling Wildlife World visitors are prohibited from exiting their vehicles and warned to keep their car doors locked and windows closed, NBC News reports , but this isn't the first time that the park has seen a tragic animal-related death. A park employee was killed by an elephant in March, and a security guard, who had stepped out of a patrol vehicle, was killed by a tiger in 2014, according to the Times .

USA Today reports that the Yanqing County government is currently investigating the incident.

China Tiger Attack Kills Woman at Drive-Through Animal Park

Video shows tiger mauling in beijing, graphic surveillance video from an animal park in china captured a woman being attacked by a tiger after she left her car. that woman survived, while another woman who rushed to her rescue was killed..

By Austin Ramzy

• July 25, 2016

A woman was killed by a tiger over the weekend after jumping out of a car in a Beijing animal park to try to save her daughter from a tiger attack, local government officials said.

At least one tiger mauled the women on Saturday at Badaling Wildlife World in a section that allows people to drive their own vehicles through a Siberian tiger enclosure, the Yanqing County government said in a written statement .

Surveillance video that circulated widely online showed a woman exit a car, then walk to the other side of the vehicle, where she was attacked a few seconds later by a tiger. As the animal dragged her away, her husband and mother jumped out in an attempt to rescue her.

The woman left the car because of an argument with her husband, reported The Legal Evening News, based in Beijing. The Beijing News, also based in the Chinese capital, quoted a friend of the family who denied that the couple had been fighting.

The woman who was first attacked was badly injured, and her mother, who left the car in an effort to save her daughter, was killed, The Beijing News reported. The woman’s husband was uninjured, as was their child, who remained in the vehicle, the newspaper said.

The park, near a famous section of the Great Wall in a county north of central Beijing, has had serious safety problems before. In March, a park employee was killed by an elephant . A security guard who stepped out of a patrol vehicle was killed by a tiger in 2014.

In 2009, an 18-year-old man was killed by a tiger in the park after he scaled a fence with two friends to enter the animals’ enclosure. The men had apparently been trying to take a shortcut through the park after a hike along the Great Wall, reported Xinhua, a state-run news agency.

While the number of wild tigers in China has dropped to fewer than two dozen living in the far northeast, where they cross back and forth into Russia, thousands of tigers are raised in parks around the country. Visitors to parks in cities like Harbin can pay to feed them, sometimes with live animals. Critics say such breeding programs do little to help wild populations and are sometimes used as cover for the illegal trade in animal parts, like tiger pelts and wine made from their bones.

Warning: Graphic video

A woman is dead, and another severely injured after a tiger attack at Beijing Badaling Safari World. Part of the attack was captured in a surveillance video, which showed a Siberian tiger pouncing on one of the women.

At the wildlife park located near the Great Wall, visitors can watch animals in a safari-like setting, but are warned not to get out of their cars. In the Saturday morning mauling, the video shows a woman in her mid-30s exiting the car, and walking around to the driver’s seat. Some reports say she got out of the car because of a family argument, but the South China Morning Post reported the family wasn’t fighting, but had thought they exited the main wildlife area.

It was while talking to her husband that a tiger ran up behind her and knocked her down and dragged her away in a matter of seconds. The woman’s husband and her 57-year-old mother ran after the tiger in an attempt to rescue her. Off-camera, her mother was killed by a second tiger. The younger woman survived, and is at the hospital in serious condition. She underwent surgery Sunday morning. A young boy, also in the car, was unharmed.

According to What’s On Weibo, this is not the park’s first tragedy. In March of this year, the park’s managing director was trampled to death by an elephant. In 2009, an 18-year-old was killed by a tiger, and again in 2014 a guard was killed by a tiger.

In 2012, a tiger escaped the park when the electric fences were turned off to allow a patrol car to pass, the Global Times reported. An employee at the Chinese Association of Zoological Gardens told Global Times that Chinese wildlife parks have significant security concerns because there are no standards in the industry.

“There needs to be specific regulations for this industry, which can potentially endanger people’s lives,” she said.

Shanghai Daily reported that the park was now closed. According to the BBC, park officials haven’t publicly acknowledged the attack, but have said the park was closing for two days due to impending rain.

Tiger kills woman working in safari park in Chile

Police say the woman did not realise the door of the animal’s cage was open and was immediately attacked

A young woman working at a safari park in Chile has died after a tiger attacked her, police said.

The woman, who has not been identified by police, was among staff cleaning and carrying out maintenance work on Friday in the big cats’ enclosure of a safari park in the city of Rancagua, 90km south of the capital Santiago.

Visitors drive through the safari feature, where animals can move freely. When staff are working in the area, animals are confined in enclosures.

The woman who died suffered neck wounds in the tiger attack, authorities said.

Williams Espinoza of the Rancagua police said the woman’s ordeal was brief. “She did not realize that the door of the animal’s cage was open and was immediately attacked by this tiger, causing her death on the spot,” he said.

The safari park was closed while police investigated. Jorge Mena, from the regional public prosecutor’s office, said they would be investigating possible third-party culpability for what happened.

The Rancagua Safari Park did not respond to a request for comment. The condition of the tiger was not known.

Horrifying last moments of mum eaten alive by safari park tiger after coming to her daughter's rescue

Terrifying footage shows the moment a siberian tiger dragged her daughter away.

Jess Battison

Warning: This article contains content which some readers may find distressing.

The horrifying last moments of a mum were caught on camera as she went to save her daughter.

Back in 2016, the woman was driving through Beijing ’s Badaling Wildlife World with her family. As is the case with plenty of the safari-style experiences we have here in the UK , visitors get to drive their own cars around the park.

But guests are not allowed to get out of their vehicle in certain enclosures – because of course while it might be safe to be protected by the four walls of a car, just strolling round an animal’ s home is rather risky.

So, the woman signed an agreement before entering the Chinese park which stated she would not get out of her vehicle.

However, tragic footage shows the woman, whose last name is Zhao, getting out of a car and being dragged by a Siberian tiger.

She claimed she believed the document she signed was some kind of registration to enter – accusing the ticket taker of not explaining it properly.

Zhao said that as they were driving round, she started feeling carsick so decided to get out of the car.

In the video, she can be seen walking around to the other side of the family vehicle, seemingly checking if she was holding up traffic.

But then, she quickly turns around as one of the Siberian tigers leaps towards her.

Zhao tried to move away but she couldn’t match the animal’s speed which pulled her to the ground and dragged her away.

Her family were quick to run to her help, as her mum tried to save her. And unfortunately, this led to the woman being attacked by another tiger and being killed as it went to eat her alive.

After the tragedy, the Yanqing district government confirmed there had been an incident at Badaling Wildlife World.

It was also added that an injured person, assumed to be Zhao, was receiving treatment.

She later filed a lawsuit against the Beijing park with the claim she hadn’t been properly informed of the dangers and that a nearby park official had failed to come to the family’s rescue.

But authorities in the Yanqing District later published a report stating it was not an ‘industry security accident’. AKA, the park was not responsible.

Instead, it was stated that this fatal attack occurred due to the visitors involved not following the wildlife park’s rules for guests.

Video captures woman dragged by tiger after stepping out of car

Updated on: July 24, 2016 / 5:37 PM EDT / CBS/AP

BEIJING - Siberian tigers at a wildlife park in Beijing mauled a woman to death and wounded another when they stepped out of their car in an enclosure, a Chinese state-run newspaper said.

A tiger pounced on one of the women after she got out of a private car in which she was touring the Beijing Badaling Wildlife World on Saturday, the Legal Evening News reported.

The second woman was killed by another tiger that leapt at her after she stepped out of the vehicle to try to help her companion, the report said.

Video footage shows the first woman stepping out of a car, and the tiger pouncing on her. The tiger drags the woman just out of view of the camera, as another woman runs out of the car to help.

The Yanqing district government confirmed in an official microblog post that the tiger attack took place at the park, which lies at the foot of the Great Wall. It offered few details but said the injured person was being treated.

Visitors are allowed to drive their own vehicles around the park, but are forbidden from getting out while in certain enclosures, the report said.

A woman who answered the phone at the park refused to comment on the attack, saying only that the park was closed for two days due to forecasts of heavy rain.

A safari park worker, 21, was killed by a tiger after a cage door was left unlocked as she cleaned the enclosure

• A tiger attacked a woman at a safari park in Chile. The woman later died due to her injuries.
• The woman was cleaning the enclosure, but the tiger's cage door was left open.
• An investigation is being carried out into how the door was left open while someone was in there.

A young woman has died after a tiger attacked her at a safari park in Chile.

The woman, who has not yet been identified by police, was a worker at the safari park and was cleaning the tiger's enclosure at the safari park, located in Rancagua, a city 60 miles south of the Chilean capital Santiago.

The animals can roam the enclosure freely, usually while guests drive through them, but they are kept in separate spaces when staff clean or perform maintenance in the enclosure.

However, the tiger's cage door was left open, said Williams Espinoza of the Rancagua police. The tiger then escaped and attacked the woman, who suffered severe neck wounds in the brutal but brief ordeal.

A young woman working at a Chilean safari park died on Friday after a tiger attacked her, police said.

"She did not realize that the door of the animal's cage was open and was immediately attacked by this tiger, causing her death on the spot," Espinoza said, as reported by CNN .

The park was closed while police investigated the incident. Jorge Mena, an agent from the regional public prosecutor's office, stated that a separate investigation would be carried out to see if there was any third-party culpability that caused the tiger attack to happen.

Specifically, the investigation will look into why and how the door to the tiger's cage was left open while the woman went about cleaning the enclosure.

While deaths caused by big cat attacks are rare, Big Cat Rescue reports that there have been 783 incidents involving captive exotic cats in the USA alone since 1990. They report that these attacks have resulted in 25 deaths, including five children.

Goat Becomes Pals With Tiger Who Was Supposed to Eat It

MOSCOW — Timur the goat was meant to be nothing more than a tasty meal for Amur, a Siberian tiger living in a safari park.

Timur had other ideas.

The stubborn animal was sent into the tiger's enclosure earlier this week as one of the predator's twice-weekly meals of live animals, the park said Thursday.

However, no one had taught Timur to be afraid of tigers. And instead of dutifully fulfilling its role in the food chain, Timur chased Amur out of the big cat's own sleeping place.

The tiger, by this point seemingly puzzled at the role-reversal, opted against confrontation. Timur has been bedding down in his spot for four nights now; Amur has been banished to sleeping on the shelter's roof.

The drama played out at the Primorsky Safari Park, in Russia's far southeastern corner. The park said the "daredevil" goat's heroics were what actually earned it the name Timur, after a courageous kid from a popular Communist-era children's book.

"It's a fitting name for such a fearless animal," the park said.

But despite the unusual sleeping arrangements, there does not appear to be any animosity between the unlikely pair. Timur has also taken to following Amur around everywhere.

Siberian tigers are an endangered species but their numbers have stabilized in recent years to around 500. This is thanks largely to the conservation efforts by Russian President Vladimir Putin, known for his love of big and dangerous animals.

Not all Siberian tigers are goat-friendly, however. Last year, two young tigers released into the wild by Putin crossed into China and wrought havoc among the local livestock , killing dozens goats and chickens before going back to Russia.

Alexey Eremenko is a producer in NBC News’ Moscow bureau. He previously worked at Russia's sole English-language daily The Moscow Times and on the English desk of the RIA Novosti newswire. His main beats included politics, space and environment, and he has reported from Afghanistan, Mali, Iran and across Russia.

Get to know the Tigers

Do you like Big Cats?  Have a look at the best places to see Lynx .

Because humans hunt it and destroy its habitat, which once stretched from the Caspian Sea to the Pacific Ocean.

Tiger habitats are pretty diverse and can be found in more places than you’d think! They live in Siberia’s dense forests and roam Malaysia’s jungles. But things are not going well for these elegant cats of prey. Although the tiger has no natural enemies, it is threatened with extinction.

Tiger Endangerment

The IUCN red list puts the Tiger status to endangered : 

Poachers are also a great danger. They hunt the tigers because they can sell the big cats’ body parts well. Because claws, teeth, brain, and other parts are processed into medicine in traditional Chinese medicine and are in great demand. Hunting tigers as trophies have cost many animals their lives, especially in the last century.

The World Wide Fund For Nature ( WWF ) assumes that less than ten percent of the original habitat is left. The reasons are manifold. For example, mineral resources such as coal or oil are extracted in some regions. Deforestation of the rainforest is also a significant problem, as is the development of inaccessible areas by roads.

The South Chinese tiger is considered extinct in the accessible wilderness. According to the WWF species lexicon, experts assume that there are only a few isolated individuals, if at all. Therefore, the last hope of preserving the species lies in the few animals in Chinese zoos. The remaining five species now live in only 13 countries in Asia. Most of them are native to India, where it is estimated that there are about 1700 tigers.

A little more than a hundred years ago, there were still about 100,000 tigers living in large parts of Asia . There are still about 3900 animals; the Bali, Caspian, and Java tigers are extinct. Amazing animals for a Tiger Safari or Tour.

How Dangerous are Tigers?

Do you like Big Animals?  We collected ideas on the Best Places to see Hippos , Elephants , Giraffes , or Rhinos .

That is why wild animals respect them. But if a trainer, for example, stumbles and loses his position of power, it can become dangerous even for him. Also, to strange tigers, he would not dare to enter the cage. By the way, in the wilderness, animals only rarely attack humans. If, for example, a shark hurts a surfer, it is only because he mistakes him for a seal. You can see this because, unlike its usual prey, it does not eat it. 

Nevertheless, some people can go into a tiger or lion cage without being attacked, for example, tamers in the circus. They know their animals well and are something like the leader. 

For Tiger, a human being is a big animal. And when an animal is in its enclosure, the tiger wants to hunt it because he has an innate hunting instinct. 

Approximately 100 people die every year due to attacks by tigers. Probably, humans are often to blame for this themselves because they provoke the animals.

Apart from the waiting times, which can amount up to 2 hours, this arrangement is for really interested rather a farce animal protection can not function so! However the park is worthwhile also independently of its tigers. One should let oneself in simply on the species-rich fauna. A tiger sighting is not everything!

Kanha National Park in Madhya Pradesh is one of India’s most famous national parks due to its size. However, because of this size, one does oneself hard to get the tigers hoped by every traveler also to face.  Unless one has nothing against the extremely questionable tiger show, where tigers are driven out of the undergrowth with the help of elephants, so hordes of Indian families wait noisily with the car until the elephant is ready to carry the customers up to the tiger. 

India offers one of the best Tiger spotting opportunities in the world, with over 50 Tier resorts called the "Tiger State". 

India is home to seventy percent of the world’s tiger population, with the Bengal tiger population at 2226 during last census in 2014. The state of Madhya Pradesh is India’s Tiger State; it is located a few hours south of Deli.

A white tiger was caught in this area in 1957, whose offspring can be seen in zoos and circuses worldwide. Other predator species in the area include leopard, striped hyena, sloth bear, wild dog, reed cat, golden jackal, spotted musang and Indian mongoose.

The best-known animal species in the park is the Bengal tiger, of which almost 50 animals lived in the park in 1997. The big cats are not shy and can be observed particularly well here.

Some of these swamps still exist. Salt forests dominate the rest. 

The hilly landscape is dominated by a plateau on which once stood the fort of the Maharajas. Nearby are grasslands rich in game, originating from swamps that were once created to protect the fort. 

The park is considered one of the most reliable places to observe wild tigers.

There is a lot of wildlife here. It is undoubtedly an underestimated but wonderful place worth visiting. The drive to the place itself through the mountains is amazingly scenic.

Even though the chances of tiger sightings in Satpura Tiger Reserve are not the highest, the park offers walking safaris, a unique way to experience wildlife. 

Saptura Tiger Reserve is a wonderful place in Madhya Pradesh. However, it is doubtful to see Tiger, because there are only 50 tigers on 1200 sq kms National Park.

The largest river in the park is the Ramganga, which flows into a large lake at the western border of the reserve. The landscape is characterized by broad valleys and hills. A chain of hills runs east-west in the middle of the area. 

It was initially called Hailey National Park, but in 1957 it was renamed Corbett National Park after it was temporarily called Ramganga National Park from 1952. Corbett National Park covers almost 521 square kilometres. Together with the adjacent Sonanadi Conservation Area it forms the Corbett Tiger Reserve, established in 1973 as part of Project Tiger.

Corbett National Park is in the Indian state of Uttarakhand at the foot of the Himalayas. It is named after the British hunter and conservationist Jim Corbett, who was instrumental in establishing the first national park in India near Nainital in 1936. Interesting for Tiger Safari or Tour.

However, the National Park offers another Sighting, the Sumatran Tiger . Around 200 Tigers roam in the wild, using Tourists as one factor to save their habitat and survival. 

The Kerinci Seblat National Park is twice the size of the famous Bali Island, which is well known for its tourists. 

Tigers in Zoos and National Parks

The consequences for the animals are fatal: Massive damage to their health, severe behavioral disorders, and increased mortality.  This Tiger Safari or Tour guide should highlight only sustainable places to go.

• Perform feats for which they are often trained by force,
• Have to change venues 50 times a year on average,
• Spend most of their time in small cages, inadequate enclosures, or in the transport wagon,
• That essential species-specific behavior such as social contacts or movement are considerably restricted or made completely impossible,
• that they have little variety or occupation,
• that they are often not fed and cared for appropriately,
• That veterinary control or care is often inadequate because there are only a few specialized veterinarians for wild animals nationwide or the circus cannot or will not afford the treatment financially,
• that in many cases the circus operators lack the necessary expertise,
• that there is no fixed winter quarters during the play-free period. Only about every tenth company can call a winter accommodation its own.

Nevertheless, animals of wild species can still be seen in many circus operations that travel around the world: Tigers, lions, elephants, rhinoceroses, giraffes, sea lions or monkeys – the range of animal species carried along is extensive. Wild animals suffer in the circus. They suffer massively, because:

Wild animals make exceptionally high demands on their keeping and accommodation. In a circus enterprise, responsible keeping wild animals is generally impossible.
