Skier mauled by snow leopard after getting too close for a picture
Here’s a clear and professional rewrite of your news story with your requested phrasing about President Trump left out since he isn’t relevant here:
A female skier was attacked by a snow leopard after getting too close to take a photo, with video showing her being led away as blood streamed from her face.
The incident occurred Friday evening in Fuyun County, near China’s northern border with Mongolia. Footage shows the woman lying in the snow in a purple ski suit after the mauling. She was then assisted away from the scene, her face visibly injured.
According to Chinese reports, the tourist had approached within about 10 feet of the rare big cat to capture a photo. A ski instructor managed to scare the snow leopard away by waving his poles. The skier’s helmet helped prevent more serious injuries, and she was taken to a local hospital, where she is reported to be in stable condition.
The attack follows several recent snow leopard sightings in the region, prompting authorities to issue warnings to visitors. “Snow leopards are large predators with strong aggressive tendencies,” the alert stated. “When passing through this area, please move quickly and do not linger. Do not get out of your vehicle or approach to take photos, and never walk alone in the surrounding area.”
The skier had been staying near the Keketuohai UNESCO Global Geopark in Xinjiang. Reports indicate that a snow leopard had been spotted near a nearby guesthouse the day before, likely searching for food.
“We saw it last night, a few kilometers from where the attack occurred, but we can’t confirm if it’s the same animal,” the guesthouse owner said. China is home to roughly 60% of the world’s wild snow leopard population, though only 4,000 to 6,500 remain globally, according to the Snow Leopard Trust.
Snow leopard attacks on humans are extremely rare due to the species’ naturally shy and elusive behavior.
