China: Construction Worker Encounters Wild Siberian Tiger in Jilin

This is the heart stopping moment that a Chinese woman narrowly avoided danger when she unexpectedly encountered a wild Siberian tiger during a late-night construction job. On November 30, 2025, in Jilin, China, the video captured a tense encounter inside the Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park as excavator operator Liu, a Chinese woman, was working outdoors at night. The footage showed a wild Siberian tiger walking steadily toward her work area. The massive animal moved with calm confidence, stopping several times as it fixed its gaze on Liu. Instead, it observed her silently for a prolonged moment before slowly turning around and walking back into the darkness of the forest. Liu later recalled that her heart nearly jumped out of her chest as the tiger stared at her under the night lights. The video ended with the tiger disappearing into the forest while Liu remained still, visibly shaken but unharmed
