A man who unwittingly entered the grounds of a Beijing zoo was mauled and eaten by a Siberian tiger, zoo staff said Sunday.
A migrant farmer, surnamed Guo, was returning with two friends from touring the Great Wall when he entered the Badaling Wild Animal World complex on Saturday afternoon.
Despite posted warning signs, the three men somehow managed to scale multiple three-meter fences and ended up in the enclosure that held Siberian tigers. While his two friends escaped, Guo was caught by a tiger and killed instantly.
Though the story varies slightly according to different sources - Xinhua published the man's age as 18, while nineMSN reported that he was 20 - the news reports all say that the men were unaware that they were entering a wild animal preserve, and may have assumed that they had found a shortcut down from the Great Wall.
Xinhua has a particularly gruesome description of what happened next:
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.
Yikes. So really people, here's something to keep in mind the next time you visit Beijing: those warning signs and fences are up there for a reason... And never trust your friend when he says he's found a shortcut.

Welcome to the world of evolution. Retards have no right to live in this world.
Yeah well... about one day here and you can tell pretty obviously that Chinese are ABSOLUTELY FEARLESS OF DEATH. I've already been in a taxi that hit a crazy bitch on a bike that came full speed out in front of us from no where. Injured or not, I was so pissed at her lack of concern for the fact that if she died it could cause a lot of trouble for the cab driver's life and her lack of respect for her own life, that I wanted to get out of the car and beat the shit out of her limp body and twisted bike.
Now I have to take a shuttle bus to and from work (far out) and just yesterday another crazy bitch did the same thing, do this retards not understand any basic physics? The momentum of a 10 ton bus is going to make you a LOT MORE FRICKING DEAD than just getting you guts splattered across the windshield of a car.
