Images: Woman attacked by polar bear

[mercurial]

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.

...

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.

It is not easy to access the enclosure, which is surrounded by a fence, a line of prickly hedges and a wall.

There is a YouTube link at the source page as well.

Hope she learnt her lesson.

What a crazy thing to do.

Was she high on drugs, or what?

There's no way I'm going that close to a wild animal... just too dangerous...

I recall reading that she had a history of depression and suicide attempts.

Suicide by polar bear is creative if nothing else.
