According to the situation learned at the scene, when the staff responsible for the safety inspection of the White Tiger Exhibition Area of the self-driving tour area patrolled outside the exhibition area, they found that a tourist suddenly got off the car in violation of the law from the self-driving vehicle, and the tourist did not pay any attention to the dissuasion of the staff, but accelerated his pace and ran through the protective slope and jumped into the isolation ditch of the exhibition area. The staff shouted at the intruders not to move, while feeding the animals food to distract them, and quickly reported the emergency to their superiors. In the process of rescue, the intruder never obeyed the rescue password of the staff, climbed from the bottom of the isolation ditch to the side of the exhibition area, confronted the 11 white tigers in the exhibition area, and constantly provoked the animals with words and actions. Because there are multiple safety protection facilities and equipment in the exhibition area, one of the hidden devices plays a key protective role, so that there is no substantial contact between the intruder and the animal. After the outbreak of the emergency, beijing wildlife park quickly activated the safety emergency plan, and successively used food lures, firecrackers and other methods to drive the animals away from the exhibition area. Subsequently, the staff entered the exhibition area to subdue the intruders and take them away.

Beijing Wild Animal Park would like to thank all the tourists and friends who were driving through the White Tiger Exhibition Area of the self-driving tour area at the time of the incident, and it is precisely because you actively cooperated with the command and guidance of the staff of the exhibition area that you won valuable time and space for our rescue work, and let us save a person's life together.
