A man has died following an hour-long tiger attack at a Chinese wildlife park after he reportedly entered the animal’s enclosure.

The tiger was shot dead and the zoo evacuated as a result of the incident in Youngor Wildlife Park in Ningbo, eastern China on Sunday.

It’s unclear how or why the unnamed man, who was about 50 years of age and not from Ningbo entered the enclosure while visiting the zoo with his wife and child.

Multiple graphic recordings of the horrific attack have surfaced online. Some of the footage shows one tiger latching onto the man while several other tigers stand by and watch.

In a rescue effort that reportedly took a more than an hour, park staff used firecrackers and a water cannon to scare off the animals, but the assailant tiger continued his mauling attack by dragging the man away from the crowd.

The man was eventually rushed to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead.

This is the second such attack to occur in China over the last six months.

In July, a woman was seriously injured by a tiger at Badaling Wildlife World after she got out of her car and was dragged away.

Her mother followed in an apparent effort to save the girl and was subsequently mauled to death by another tiger.

This dude was getting tugged on by the neck and head. I wonder why they even brought him to a hospital at all, I don't see how this could even remotely be survivable.

What's really sad is that they killed a beautiful animal for nothing.

Darwin medal conferred.

A bit of background stories:

This man: he climbed over the wall to get into the zoo, just to avoid paying the entrance fee. A common phenomena in China.

The woman (who died in July): she had a quarrel with her husband who was driving, and simply got off the car. Despite numerous warning horns being blown at her from other cars, including the zoo patrol, she stood there until the tiger got its extra meal.

My kitty cat attacked my ankle this morning. I can relate to the cat biting thing.

Beat me to it! Who doesn't like Chinese?

Seriously, when people are that retarded, just let the tigers have a feed, collect what's left of the corpse later. Why kill a threatened species for the stupidity of one that definitely isn't going extinct any time soon...
