Woman attacked by polar bear in Berlin zoo: reckless act with cruelty
When a 32-year-old lady climbed into a polar bear’s cage during feeding time at the Berlin Zoo on Friday, the animal bit her. She suffered a number of bites before being rescued.
This horrifying incident happened when a woman jumped into the zoo’s polar bear enclosure and was then attacked by the animal.
Yesterday, a 32-year-old man jumped over the bars at the Berlin Zoo while the bears were being fed.
The woman was bitten several times on the hands and feet despite the efforts of six zoo keepers to ward off the four predators located in the enclosure.
Brave breeders eventually managed to push the bear away and drag the woman to safety.
She was bitten not by the legendary Knut, who took Germany by storm as a cub after being hand-raised by a keeper, but by one of the four older polar bears in the cage.
The woman’s motive for the risky stunt is unknown, although she initially appeared to be excited as she swam near the bear in the enclosure.
The paddock is enclosed by a fence, a number of fragile bushes and a wall, making access difficult.
According to zoo spokesman Heiner Kloes, staff members pushed the big bear away before removing the victim.
She underwent surgery to repair her injuries before being taken to hospital for treatment where she is still recovering.
Conclusion
An incident at the Berlin Zoo, where a woman was attacked by a polar bear after jumping into an enclosure, highlights the importance of following safety protocols and respecting the boundaries set by animal enclosures in zoos. It also highlights the bravery and dedication of the zookeepers who risked their own safety to save the woman from danger. As the investigation into the motives for this reckless act continues, we must be aware of the potential dangers of approaching wild animals and remember that zoos serve as places to observe and appreciate these magnificent creatures from a safe distance.
