This is the terrifying moment a woman was attacked by a polar bear after jumping into its zoo enclosure.
The 32-year-old leapt over bars at Berlin Zoo during the bears' feeding time yesterday.
Despite six zookeepers' efforts to distract the four predators kept in the enclosure, the woman was bitten several times on her arms and legs.
The brave keepers eventually managed to push the bear away and pull the woman to safety.
She was bitten by one of the four older polar bears in the enclosure and not by the famous Knut, who took Germany by storm as a cub after he was hand-raised by a keeper.
It is not known why the woman pulled the dangerous stunt but she initially appeared to be elated as she swam towards a bear in the enclosure.

There’s nothing shocking about what happened, in fact it ended pretty much the way I’d expect it to.

I am just glad the bear was not harmed.. too often in these stories, the poor animal ends up being shot in order to save the idiot human. I am specifically thinking of those morons at the San Francisco zoo who teased a lion.

Who can blame the poor, hungry polar bear? She was so well marbled.
To: Chet 99
She wanted to rescue it from Global Warming©.

She probably is talking with her lawyer right about now.
Something along the lines of: Please Don’t Feed the Bears was not clear enough for her...

They may be cute but they are carnivores at the top of the food chain.
