Police say that on Friday, a woman jumped over a fence and into the water habitat of the polar bears at the Berlin Zoo. She jumped into their water during feeding time. The polar bears proceeded to attack her. Biting her and hitting her. The zookeepers then threw out life perservers and rescue rings into the water to try and get her out. They also used the rescue rings to distract the other polar bears while they tried to hoist her out of the water. At one point they had her but she ended up falling back into the water and grabbed by another bear. The zookeepers did eventually get her out of the habitat to safety. She is now being treated at a nearby hospital with severe injuries. No one knows why she went into the polar bear habitat, but the police did issue her with a trespassing citation.
I believe that she woman must not have known what she was really doing. Especially since she went into the habitat during feeding time. I mean really, why would you want to go into a polar bear habitat at all? Yes, they are cute and fluffy from behind the fence, but once you are inside the fenced in area, they can be killers. I honestly do not understand why someone would want to go into a polar bear habitat, other than if you were a trained professional who was feeding them or something. Even then I do not understand why you would want to go in there. I am glad that the zookeepers managed to get her out of the water and save her life. That is an amazing thing that they did. I just do not understand how or why this woman decided to go into the habitat. It really does not make any sense what so ever to me. It is basically common sense that you do not, under any circumstances, go into the cage. The only way I could see that she got into the cage would be falling in by accident. But that is why they have all of the fencing and barriers they do at zoos. So people don't fall in by accident. It is a very good thing that this woman is safe from the polar bears and I do hope that she makes a full recovery.
