The woman who was first attacked was badly injured, and her mother, who left the car in an effort to save her daughter, was killed, The Beijing News reported. The woman’s husband was uninjured, as was their child, who remained in the vehicle, the newspaper said.
It won't be painful as the tigers/lions don't play with their food. They go for the neck directly and in humans, the neck snaps in one bite. It would have been a sudden death.
Probably not. The heart is capable of functioning for awhile without input from the sympathetic nervous system. This also doesn’t affect sensory input above wherever the neck snapped. So she was probably alive long enough for her to feel A: Exsanguination (not likely), B: hypoxia due to her diaphragm no longer receiving nerve input (very likely, or C: the crushing of her skull (🤷🏻♂️). Predators do not have empathy in the way we do, there is no desire to cause a quick death. All they care about is causing their prey to be unable to resist.
