‘Don’t blame the bears’: another tourist risks life and limb at a Chinese safari park

Staff at a beleaguered Chinese safari park had to intervene to ensure the safety of one of its visitors when a tourist stood up through an open car sunroof to get a better view, according to local media reports.

The tourist at Beijing’s Badaling Wildlife World was photographed by another visitor with his upper body above the car’s roof on a road in the nature reserve, state-run news website Huanqiu.com reported on Monday.

Near the vehicle is a sign warning visitors not to open the windows of their cars.

The park is near the Great Wall and offers visitors a close encounter with wild animals such as tigers, lions, bears and monkeys.

The date of the incident was not specified but the report comes a year after a woman was fatally mauled tigers at the park.
