TIGER MAULS WORKER TO DEATH

Tiger Mauls Worker to Death Near Great Wall

BEIJING (Reuters) - A tiger mauled a Chinese man to death when he tried to take a short cut through a wildlife park near the Great Wall, the Beijing Youth Daily reported on Monday.
Rangers at the Beijing Badaling Wildlife Safari Park, near the wall's most popular tourist spot, rushed to the tigers' grazing area on Tuesday on hearing desperate cries of "Save me! Save me!," the newspaper said.

But by the time they arrived the man's neck was gnawed and his bloodied body showed no signs of life, the paper said.

Makes you question the saying about the "road less traveled".

The posts or stuff said are NOT an official forecast and my opinion alone. Please look to the NHC and NWS for official forecasts and products.

ECMWF (1:45 AM/PM)
TCVN is a weighted averaged

Opinions my own.
