A polar bear assaulted a 32-year-old lady on Friday after she jumped into their cage at the Berlin Zoo when they were being fed.
Before she was saved, she had been bitten a lot.
In order to enter it, the woman, identified only as Mandy K, had to climb over a fence, a line of hedges, and a wall.
The woman leaped over the bars as the bear was being fed at the Berlin Zoo where she sustained injuries to her arms, legs and back.
Despite the efforts of six zookeepers to divert the four predators, one of the bears repeatedly bit the victim on the arms and legs.
The zookeepers managed to scare the bear off and save the woman.
The 32-year-old woman is now recovering in the hospital following surgery to repair her wounds.
Afterward it emerged that she is a teacher who had been driven to despair by her failure to find a job.
