Selfie Culture Lacks Self-Awareness

Recently, a female skier in China was rescued from a mountaintop after being seriously injured in an attack by a snow leopard. But this was no random attack. The tourist, upon spotting the rare animal on her drive back to her hotel, somehow decided that it would be a good idea to get out of her car, approach the animal, and take photos. In video footage, she is seen lying motionless in the snow with the predator nearby. She was taken to the hospital, and it is believed her ski helmet saved her life. Apparently, the woman was credulous enough to believe that an unpredictable wild animal might take a break from its hunt for an Asiatic ibex to pose for a selfie with her.
