Polar bear attacks woman at Berlin Zoo
* Story Highlights
* An adult polar bites woman several times after she plunges into the moat
* The woman was severely injured and was being treated at a hospital
* It's unclear why the woman entered the bear habitat
BERLIN, Germany (CNN) -- A polar bear attacked a woman at Berlin Zoo Friday afternoon after she climbed a fence and jumped into its habitat during feeding time, police said Saturday.
One adult polar bit her several times after she plunged into the moat, police said.
Zoo workers tossed rescue rings toward the woman to hoist her out and distract polar bears swimming nearby, said Goerg Gebhard, a Berlin police officer.
"They saved her life," Gebhard told CNN.
The woman was severely injured and was being treated at a hospital, police said.
It's unclear why the woman entered the bear habitat, but police issued her a citation for trespassing.

When I worked at the hospital as a student volunteer, they airlifted someone in from the Arctic who had been bitten by a polar bear. They didn't have any ultrasound equipment up north...

If you're going to jump into their habitat and you have a similar appearance to a beluga whale, you're asking for it.

Heh my bad, I was on my mobile when I posted that when I saw CNN was part of the context so I thought it was an American broadcasted news. So I am wondering what made her to jump into the polar bear territory. :confused::confused::confused:
