A woman has been mauled to death and another seriously injured in a shocking tiger attack at a wildlife park in China.

Sohu news reports the horrifying incident occurred at Beijing Badaling Wildlife World on Saturday, when a woman got out of a car which was travelling through the park where tigers roam free.

In confronting footage, the woman can be seen being dragged away by the animal as another woman emerges from the vehicle and runs to her aid.

The pair are believed to be mother and daughter.

The wildlife park has since been closed as investigations into the incident continue.
