Pictured: Shocking moment polar bear attacks woman who climbed into zoo enclosure

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.
...
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.

What could be better than 'idiot German woman bitten by bear'? "Idiot German woman bitten by famous bear". But alas, we missed out. We did get good photography of the moment she realized her brilliant scheme of 'climb into bear pen, swim towards bears' might not have been as brilliant as originally conceived. Also: video.



No Jesus, Happy Easter to you.
