Unfortunately, mishaps do occur, and occasionally people intentionally place themselves in risky positions. This is regrettably the case with a teacher who was dejected after failing to find employment for a while.

In particular, the 32-year-old Mandy K leaped into the polar bear enclosure at the Berlin Zoo. She would have to scale a wall, a row of hedges, and a fence to get there. Most importantly, she leaped into the enclosed space as the bearded animals were being fed.

She was attacked by one of the animals as was to be expected, and she suffered severe wounds from the powerful bites she received.

Fortunately, Mandy was saved by a zoo staffer who managed to frighten off the bear.

She had serious injuries on her back, leg, and arm.

She had surgery, and she is currently recuperating at the hospital.
