Mum Finds Out What Happens When Polar Bears Attack

Occasionally at the zoo, when viewing the animals, I’ll say something like “oh, look at that cutie, I want to pet him!” But do I act on that urge? Hells no! I’m not crazy. But you know who is? A 32-year woman who went to the Berlin Zoo with her husband and baby. This mother opted to take off her shoes, climb down a fence, wade through a thorn filled hedge, go over a concrete wall and then proceeded to swan dive into the “murky moat” that is in the polar bear’s enclosure. And this all happened during feeding time mind you. But polar bears, they ain’t cute little puppies. One of the four bears that were in the enclosure bit the mum on her arms, legs and back.

Zoo keepers were able to throw her a life preserver and rescue the polar bear loving lady. She is currently in a Berlin hospital and is recovering from the injuries that occurred. But this wasn’t the first time someone felt the need to risk life and limb to get up close to the snowy white polar bears. Last year a 37-year-old man jumped in because one of the bears looked “lonely.” But the most recent “leaper” had her baby with her. I can just imagine the family chats year from now, “remember that time when Mummy got attacked by the polar bear?” Ahh, memories.

Have you ever wanted to pet an animal at the zoo? If so, what animal would you want to get up close and personal with?
