The daughter of a woman who was mauled to death by a tiger at Beijing's Badaling Wildlife World eight years ago insisted the wildlife park was to blame for a bizarre reason.

The tragic case, which saw a mother die in an attempt to save her daughter's life, shook the world when footage of the last moments went viral on social media.

The mother and daughter visited the wildlife park in 2016 and were part of a long line of cars that approached the cage of a Siberian tiger.

The daughter, whose surname is Zhou, reportedly began to feel carsick and got out of the car, walking around to the driver's side.

In devastating footage, Zhou is then pursued by a huge tiger which savagely locks its teeth down on her dress and drags her away out of shot.

The video then shows her mother also exiting the car and running towards her daughter in an attempt to save her life.

Reports stated that as Zhou's mother embarked on her rescue mission, another tiger from the enclosure approached and fatally attacked her, beginning to 'eat her alive'.

Zhou was transported to a local hospital and treated for her injuries as soon as rangers made their way onto the bloodied scene.

It has emerged that despite the mother and daughter signing an agreement that insisted they'd remain in their vehicle when exploring the wildlife park, the daughter claimed it wasn't clear enough.

Following the tragic death of her mother, Zhou swore she believed that the document she had signed was simply a form of registration, rather than the laying out of any strict rules.

Zhou then went on to claim park owners had failed to adequately explain the risks about exiting cars and park rules.

The aftermath of this devastating incident and Zhou's belief about the document was that she attempted bring about a lawsuit against Beijing's Badaling Wildlife World.

She alleged that as well as a failure to adequately explain the rules, park staff had a delayed reaction when attempting to save her family from tragedy.

Ultimately, authorities of the Yanqing District, Beijing, published a report that outlined the death was not an ‘industry security accident’, alleviating the wildlife park of any responsibility.
