32-Year-Old Woman Attacked by Polar Bear After Entering Enclosure at Berlin Zoo

If you’ve ever been to a zoo, you’ve likely noticed the signs reminding visitors not to feed or approach the animals. These rules exist to protect both the visitors and the animals.

Unfortunately, accidents do happen, and in some cases, people deliberately put themselves in harm’s way. Such was the case with 32-year-old Mandy K., a teacher who reportedly became desperate after struggling to find a job.

During a visit to the Berlin Zoo, Mandy made the shocking decision to enter the polar bear enclosure. To do so, she climbed over a fence, passed through a line of hedges, and scaled a wall. She then jumped into the enclosure while the bears were being fed—a particularly dangerous time.

Tragically, one of the bears quickly attacked her, leaving her with severe injuries, including deep bite wounds.

Fortunately, a zoo employee managed to intervene and scare the bear away, ultimately rescuing Mandy. However, she suffered significant injuries to her arm, leg, and back.

Mandy was rushed to the hospital, where she underwent surgery. She is now recovering from her injuries.

This incident serves as a stark reminder of why zoo safety rules should always be followed.
