Graphic images from the surveillance footage released by China’s state broadcaster show the first woman exiting the car on the passenger side and walking over to the driver’s door, which opens. As she is talking to the driver, a tiger pounces from the woods behind her and drags her off the road as the man in the driver’s seat runs after her.

Moments later, an older female passenger exits from the rear of the car and follows her companions. What appears to be a staff vehicle immediately drives off after the three adults.
